Examiner: CRUM, VIVIAN FLORENCE

Tech Center 1700 • Art Units: 1738

This examiner grants 100% of resolved cases

Analysis

Examiner Crum has a limited track record in Art Unit 1738, with only 1 resolved case that resulted in an allowance. This 100.0% allowance rate and the median days to allowance of 1011 are based on this single data point, making them less predictive of future outcomes in Tech Center 1700. The data suggests an initial success, but the small sample size of 1 resolved case means that practitioners should not assume a 100.0% success rate will continue as more cases are processed.

The interview lift of 0.0% also reflects the single resolved case, indicating that no interview was conducted or that it did not change the outcome. With such thin data, practitioners should be cautious in relying on these metrics and should monitor for more resolved cases to establish a more robust profile for this examiner. The 1011-day median pendency is currently the only indicator of the examiner's timeline, suggesting a prosecution period of nearly three years. Until more than 1 resolved case is available, strategy should be based on broader Tech Center 1700 trends while remaining attentive to this examiner's specific developments. The 100.0% allowance rate is a positive start but requires more data to be considered a reliable metric.
