Analysis

William Boddie is an examiner in Tech Center 2800, assigned to Art Unit 2621. He has 202 resolved cases in his record. The allowance rate pct for Boddie is 27.2, which is a relatively low figure. This 27.2 allowance rate pct indicates that a significant majority of applications he reviews do not reach allowance, suggesting a rigorous and challenging examination environment for practitioners in Art Unit 2621.

The prosecution timeline is also notably long, with a median days to allowance of 1746. This 1746 median days to allowance suggests that successful applications require a multi-year commitment to reach a grant. However, the interview lift pct of 23.3 offers a potential strategy for improving outcomes. This 23.3 interview lift pct indicates that engaging in a direct dialogue with Boddie can substantially increase the chances of overcoming rejections compared to relying solely on written responses. Given the 27.2 allowance rate pct and the 1746 median days to allowance, applicants should be prepared for a difficult and lengthy process in Tech Center 2800.
