The median days to allowance for this matter was 649. Because there is only 1 resolved case, these statistics represent a very limited sample of her examination history. Practitioners should view these metrics as preliminary given the small volume of resolved cases.

The interview lift for this examiner is 0.0 percent. This figure indicates that the single resolved case did not demonstrate a change in allowance probability based on an interview. With 100.0 percent allowance and 649 days to allowance, the data is currently centered on a single successful outcome. As more cases are resolved in Art Unit 3677, these figures will likely evolve to show a broader range of outcomes. For now, the 1 resolved case defines the current statistical profile.

The 649 days to allowance provides the only available timing data for this examiner. The 100.0 percent allowance rate and 0.0 percent interview lift are derived from the same single resolution. These figures offer a starting point for understanding her work in Tech Center 3600. Attorneys should monitor how these percentages change as her docket grows beyond the initial 1 resolved case. The current data reflects a perfect grant rate and a specific timeline for a single application.
