Tech Center 4100 • Art Units: 3723 3799 4100
This examiner grants 59% of resolved cases
Examiner Crandall has handled 786 resolved cases in Art Unit 3723 with an allowance rate of 59.4%. This moderate rate suggests a balanced approach to examination within Tech Center 4100. The median days to allowance of 1251 indicates a prosecution timeline that often extends for a significant period. The 786 resolved cases provide a reliable statistical base for understanding the examiner's tendencies and the expected duration of the process.
The interview lift of 21.6% is a very strong indicator that direct engagement is beneficial. For the 786 resolved cases, interviews significantly increased the likelihood of a grant. Applicants should use this data to justify an interview early in the process, which may help overcome the 59.4% baseline allowance rate and potentially shorten the 1251-day median wait for an allowance. The 21.6% lift suggests that the examiner is particularly open to resolving issues through verbal discussion. By incorporating interviews into their strategy, practitioners can navigate the 1251-day timeline more effectively and improve their overall chances of success.
