Analysis

Bertram, Ryan resolved 693 cases in Tech Center 2100 and Art Unit 2133. The allowance rate was 88.5%, and the median time to allowance was 832 days. Interview lift was 4.3%, indicating a limited positive association between interviews and allowance outcomes.

Intel Corporation, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., and Pure Storage Inc. were the leading companies. The principal firms were JCIPRNET, Setter Roche Smith & Shellenberger LLP, and SUGHRUE MION, PLLC. The profile combines a high allowance rate with a relatively short median timeline. Because the interview effect is modest, practitioners may focus on precise written responses and use interviews when they can resolve a defined issue without disrupting an otherwise favorable prosecution path.
