This examiner grants 75% of resolved cases
Melissa A. Headly has resolved 418 cases in Art Unit 2126. Her allowance rate is 75.1%, and the median days to allowance is 1253. A very high interview lift of 41.0% suggests that interviews are exceptionally effective at resolving issues and securing allowances. This 41.0% lift is one of the most significant metrics in this profile, highlighting a clear path for practitioners to improve the 75.1% baseline allowance rate.
Intel Corporation, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., and Robert Bosch GmbH are the top companies in her docket. Law firms such as Compass IP Law PC, Cantor Colburn LLP, and Crowell are among the most active. The 1253 median days to allowance reflects the time required for successful prosecution. Given the 41.0% interview lift, direct engagement with the examiner is a highly recommended tactic. The data from 418 resolved cases confirms that while the 75.1% allowance rate is strong, interviews provide a substantial additional advantage for applicants.
