Tech Center 3700 • Art Units: 3723 3724 3799
This examiner grants 37% of resolved cases
Samuel Allen Davies is an examiner in Tech Center 3700 and Art Unit 3723. He has resolved 453 cases, which provides a substantial dataset for analysis. His allowance rate is 36.9 percent, indicating a very challenging prosecution environment where fewer than four out of ten applications are granted. The median days to allowance for successful cases is 1283. This combination of a low allowance rate and a long pendency requires a highly strategic approach from practitioners.
The data reveals a significant interview lift of 30.1 percent. This suggests that while the base allowance rate is only 36.9 percent, applicants who conduct an interview have a much higher probability of success. The 30.1 percent lift is a clear signal that verbal advocacy is a critical component of prosecution with this examiner. Practitioners should prioritize scheduling an interview to address rejections and clarify technical issues, as this can be the difference between an abandonment and a grant. Given the 1283-day median pendency, an interview may also help in identifying the most direct path to allowance in a difficult art unit. The 453 resolved cases ensure these metrics are stable indicators.
