Analysis

Jason S. Tiedeman, an examiner in Tech Center 3600 and Art Unit 3626, presents a challenging environment with an allowance rate of 28.5 percent. This rate is derived from 354 resolved cases, indicating a consistent pattern of strict examination. Furthermore, the median days to allowance is 1460, suggesting a prolonged prosecution period for those who do eventually succeed. These 354 cases provide a robust data set for understanding the examiner's tendencies in Tech Center 3600.

Despite the low baseline allowance rate, the data highlights a significant opportunity through examiner interviews. The interview lift is 34.9 percent, which is a highly impactful metric for this examiner. This suggests that while written prosecution may be difficult, direct engagement can dramatically increase the likelihood of an allowance. Practitioners should view the interview as a critical step in navigating the 354 resolved cases and overcoming the 28.5 percent allowance rate. Given the 1460-day median, an early interview might be the most effective way to secure a grant.
