Analysis

Daniel E Lane, in Tech Center 3700 and Art Unit 3715, has 310 resolved cases. His allowance rate pct is 3.9, indicating the environment for applicants in his docket. The median days to allowance for successful cases is 1160. This 1160-day figure highlights the effort required to reach a grant when facing a 3.9 allowance rate pct in Art Unit 3715.

The interview lift pct of 8.3 shows an increase in the likelihood of allowance following an interview. While this lift is a factor given the 3.9 allowance rate pct, the probability of success remains a consideration for practitioners. The 310 resolved cases provide a statistical basis for this profile. Practitioners should be aware that the 8.3 lift, while positive, is a metric to be used alongside the 3.9 allowance rate pct when planning prosecution strategy.
