Examiner: HOUSTON, ELIZABETH

Analysis

Elizabeth Houston is an examiner in Tech Center 3700 and Art Unit 3731. She has resolved 458 cases, with an allowance rate of 37.6 percent. This rate indicates a challenging examination process for most applicants in this art unit. The median days to allowance of 1550 suggests a long prosecution timeline. The interview lift of 42.9 percent is a significant factor for practitioners to consider.

This lift suggests that direct communication can meaningfully improve the 37.6 percent baseline allowance rate. The 458 resolved cases provide a solid statistical basis for these observations. The 1550-day median pendency is a critical factor for applicants to consider in Tech Center 3700. Given the 42.9 percent lift, practitioners should almost always schedule an interview to improve their chances of success. The 37.6 percent allowance rate shows that navigating Art Unit 3731 is difficult without a proactive strategy and effective communication. The 1550-day figure is a key metric.
