Listed by the USPTO as WELLS, JAMES STEVEN
Tech Center 2800 • Art Units: 2825
This examiner grants 87% of resolved cases
WELLS, JAMES STEVEN is a USPTO patent examiner in Tech Center 2800 and Art Unit 2825. The record contains 38 resolved cases and an 86.8% allowance rate. The median time to allowance is 967 days. Interviews have a 6.7% lift, so the favorable allowance result is not accompanied by a large interview association. Because the case volume is limited, applicants should use the profile as directional and focus on clear written claim treatment.
The leading companies are Micron Technology Inc., Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd., and KIOXIA Corporation. The leading firms are William Park & Associates LTD., Clifford Chi, A.P.C., and FISH & RICHARDSON P.C. (TC). The technology concentration is semiconductor memory and manufacturing. Practitioners should prepare detailed technical distinctions while planning for a substantial interval before allowance.
