Analysis

David Kim is an examiner in Tech Center 3600, working within Art Unit 2124. The data for this profile is based on 1 resolved case, which was allowed, resulting in a 100.0 percent allowance rate. This single resolution reached allowance after a median pendency of 1236 days.

Because there is only 1 resolved case, the interview lift is currently 0.0 percent. This figure indicates that an interview did not change the outcome for the single case on record. Practitioners should note the 100.0 percent allowance rate and the 1236-day median pendency as the only available data points for Art Unit 2124.

The 1236-day median pendency provides a solitary measure for timing expectations in Tech Center 3600. With only 1 resolved case, the 100.0 percent allowance rate and 0.0 percent interview lift are the current metrics. Future resolutions will be necessary to determine if these figures are representative of the examiner's typical workflow.
