Analysis

Jason B. Dunham presents a challenging prosecution environment in Art Unit 3625, with an allowance rate of 25.7% across 175 resolved cases. However, the data reveals a significant interview lift of 30.9%, suggesting that examiner interviews are an effective way to improve the chances of success in Tech Center 3600.

The median days to allowance is 1560, which is a very long prosecution cycle. Given the 25.7% baseline allowance rate, the 30.9% lift from interviews is a critical statistic for practitioners to consider.
