This examiner grants 84% of resolved cases

Analysis

Raymond J. Henley III handles cases in Tech Center 1600 and Art Unit 1614. He has resolved 1258 cases with an allowance rate of 83.5%. The median days to allowance is 694, suggesting a relatively efficient path to grant for successful applications. This pendency of 694 days is a primary metric for applicants in his docket.

The interview lift is 2.3%, showing a minimal change in allowance outcomes after conducting an interview compared to the 83.5% allowance rate. With an 83.5% allowance rate already in place, the marginal benefit of an interview appears limited. Veradermics Incorporated is a top company in his portfolio, and Procopio, Cory, Hargreaves & Savitch LLP is a primary firm. Practitioners should weigh the 2.3% lift against the high baseline probability of success when determining their prosecution strategy. The 1258 resolved cases provide a robust data set for predicting future outcomes. Efficiently navigating the 694-day median timeline should be a priority for applicants seeking to join the 83.5% of allowed cases.
