Examiner: LAM, CHRISTOPHER

Tech Center 2400 • Art Units: 2199 2435

This examiner grants 100% of resolved cases

Analysis

Christopher Lam has resolved 1 case in Art Unit 2199 with a 100.0% allowance rate. The median days to allowance was 611, and the interview lift was 0.0%. This data is based on a single resolution and is not statistically significant for predicting future outcomes in Tech Center 2400. The 611-day median is currently based on this lone case. Practitioners should view the 100.0% allowance rate as a preliminary result that may change as more cases are resolved.

The 0.0% interview lift does not yet offer a reliable measure of the impact of direct communication. With only 1 case on record, the 611-day timeline is the only available indicator of pendency. Strategy in Art Unit 2199 should be informed by the fact that the 100.0% allowance rate is not yet a robust trend. As the examiner completes more than 1 resolution, the 0.0% lift and other metrics will become more predictive. The 611-day figure is a positive sign for efficiency, but it remains tied to a single outcome. Practitioners should monitor this profile for further developments to refine their prosecution approach.
