This examiner grants 50% of resolved cases

Analysis

Tyler Ray Ferguson examines applications in Tech Center 3600 and Art Unit 3611. The data for this examiner includes 2 resolved cases. These cases resulted in an allowance rate of 50.0 percent. The interview lift is 0.0 percent, and the median days to allowance is 1031. These figures are based on a very limited data set and may not reflect long-term trends.

However, the 50.0 percent allowance rate provides an initial benchmark for applicants. The 1031 days to allowance suggests a standard timeframe for the 2 cases resolved. With an interview lift of 0.0 percent, the impact of direct communication remains unproven in this specific context. Practitioners should note that while the sample size is small, the 50.0 percent rate indicates a balanced outcome so far. As more cases are resolved in Art Unit 3611, these metrics will become more predictive. For now, the 1031-day timeline and 50.0 percent allowance rate are the only available data points for this examiner in Tech Center 3600.
