Tech Center 3700 • Art Units: 1743 3731 3771 3773
This examiner grants 69% of resolved cases
Christina C Lauer has overseen 685 resolved cases in Art Unit 1743 of Tech Center 3700. Her allowance rate pct of 68.6% establishes the general likelihood of success for applications on her docket. This figure indicates that approximately two-thirds of cases reaching a final disposition result in an allowance.
The interview lift pct of 14.7% indicates that direct communication is a beneficial tactic. Applicants who engage in interviews see a meaningful increase in their chances of reaching an allowance compared to those who do not. This lift suggests that verbal advocacy is a productive way to improve upon the 68.6% baseline allowance rate.
The median_days_to_allowance is 1377. This relatively long pendency suggests that while the 68.6% allowance rate is favorable, the path to a grant in Art Unit 1743 may require significant time. Practitioners should use the 14.7% interview lift to help navigate this long timeline and secure a successful outcome.
