Analysis

Mamadou Faye works in Tech Center 3700 and Art Unit 2884, where he has handled 868 resolved cases. His allowance rate is 78.8 percent. This high rate suggests a high probability of success for applications assigned to his docket. Practitioners can approach prosecution with a degree of confidence, as the 78.8 percent allowance rate is well above the average for many other units.

The interview lift for this examiner is 6.5 percent. This modest lift indicates that while interviews are generally helpful, the baseline allowance rate is already high. Practitioners should still consider interviews as a tool for clarification, even if the statistical impact is limited to a 6.5 percent increase. In the context of the resolved cases, this lift represents a consistent but minor benefit.

The median days to allowance is 868. This duration provides a clear expectation for the speed of prosecution. The combination of a high allowance rate and a consistent timeline makes for a predictable prosecution environment. Applicants should plan for a process that typically concludes around this temporal mark, which is numerically identical to his total case count of 868.
