Analysis

Matthew Ryan Burke is an examiner in Tech Center 1700 and Art Unit 1619. His profile is based on 1 resolved cases, which show an allowance rate pct of 0.0. This indicates that the single case resolved did not result in a patent grant. The median days to allowance is 917, though this figure is based on a limited set of outcomes from filing to grant.

The interview lift pct of 0.0 suggests that interviews have not changed the outcome of the cases processed so far. Because the allowance rate pct is 0.0, there is no record of an interview leading to a grant in this sample. Practitioners in Art Unit 1619 should focus on the 917 median days to allowance as the only available timing metric for the 1 resolved cases. This lift is a neutral factor.

With only 1 resolved cases, the examiner's metrics are sensitive to future outcomes. The 0.0 allowance rate pct and the 917 median days to allowance define the current data set. As more cases are resolved, the 0.0 interview lift pct may change, but for now, the path to a grant remains unproven in Tech Center 1700. The 917 median days to allowance is the primary timing guide.
