Analysis

JONES, CHARLES JEFFREY examines in tech center 2100 and art unit 2122. His profile records 25 resolved cases, an allowance rate of 28.0%, and a median of 1478 days to allowance. The 43.1% interview lift is substantial, indicating that interviews were associated with better allowance outcomes in the recorded matters, although the small case volume limits confidence in projecting that relationship.

Listed companies include International Business Machines Corporation, NVIDIA Corporation, and Halliburton Energy Services Inc. Listed firms include C. Tumey Law Group PLLC - HES, CANTOR COLBURN LLP, and DORSEY & WHITNEY LLP - Denver. The low allowance rate and extended median timing support early development of fallback claim positions. An interview may be useful when it is tied to specific technical distinctions and supported by a carefully prepared prosecution record.
