This examiner grants 100% of resolved cases

Analysis

Samantha Lee Hanyon is an examiner in Tech Center 1700 and Art Unit 1725. The data shows 1 resolved case, which resulted in an allowance rate of 100.0%. The median days to allowance for this single case was 1170. Because there is only 1 resolved case, these figures represent a very limited sample size for evaluating the examiner's long-term tendencies.

The interview lift is 0.0%, indicating that no change in the allowance probability was observed in this single instance. The 100.0% allowance rate and 1170-day median are the only available metrics for this examiner. Practitioners should note that with only 1 resolved case, these numbers may not predict future performance in Art Unit 1725.

The 1170-day timeline for the single resolved case provides a solitary data point for pendency. In Tech Center 1700, this 100.0% allowance rate reflects a successful outcome for the applicant involved. However, the 0.0% interview lift and the single case resolution mean that more data is needed to establish a reliable profile.
