Stephanie S. Ham

While working as a patent examiner within the security art unit at the USPTO, Stephanie examined applications related to a wide array of technologies, such as blockchains, cloud computing, biometric data protection, cryptography, access control, phishing detection, circuit modification, and artificial intelligence (AI). Her work often involved drafting office actions related to application rejections including 35 U.S.C. § 101, 102, 103, and 112 issues and responding to applicant arguments. Stephanie developed strategies to perform in-depth searches and to efficiently utilize patent and non-patent literature databases.
