Examiner: CLAYTOR, DEIRDRE RENEE

Analysis

Deirdre Renee Claytor works in Tech Center 1600 and Art Unit 1617. The examiner has 498 resolved cases and an allowance rate of 42.8 percent. The median days to allowance is 1434. These figures suggest a challenging and lengthy prosecution process. The 42.8 percent allowance rate indicates that fewer than half of the applications reach allowance.

The interview lift is 26.9 percent. This high lift indicates that interviews are a very effective strategy to improve the 42.8 percent allowance rate. For the 498 resolved cases, direct engagement appears to be a key factor in achieving success. Practitioners should account for the 1434 day median pendency in Art Unit 1617. The 26.9 percent lift suggests that verbal clarification can significantly impact the outcome of an application.
