This examiner grants 33% of resolved cases

Analysis

Jack Yip is an examiner in Tech Center 3700 and Art Unit 3714, with 719 resolved cases. The allowance rate of 33.0 percent is notably low, indicating a very rigorous examination process for mechanical and medical device applications. This difficulty is compounded by a median days to allowance of 1389, which represents a lengthy pendency.

However, the data reveals a significant interview lift of 37.8 percent. This is a critical metric for practitioners, as the lift actually exceeds the 33.0 percent baseline allowance rate. This suggests that conducting an interview is a highly effective strategy for overcoming rejections and moving a case toward allowance with this examiner.

With 719 resolved cases, the examiner's data provides a strong signal for strategy. In Art Unit 3714, the 1389 days to allowance requires patience and persistence. Given the baseline allowance rate, the 37.8 percent interview lift should be viewed as an essential component of any prosecution plan in Tech Center 3700.
