This examiner grants 45% of resolved cases
Michael W. Anderson examines cases in Tech Center 3600, specifically within Art Unit 3600, where he has handled 217 resolved cases. His allowance rate of 44.7% reflects a challenging prosecution environment where fewer than half of the applications reach allowance. This difficulty is compounded by a median days to allowance of 1456, signaling a very long duration for those cases that do eventually succeed.
Despite the low baseline allowance rate, the interview lift of 52.7% is exceptionally high. This figure suggests that conducting an interview is a transformative step in the prosecution process for this examiner. With a 52.7% lift, the probability of allowance increases significantly when an interview is conducted compared to when it is not. For the 217 resolved cases in this profile, the data strongly supports the use of interviews as the primary tactical tool to overcome the hurdles presented by the 44.7% general allowance rate and the 1456-day median pendency.
