LOCKETT, KIMBERLY R is assigned to Tech Center 3600 and Art Unit 2832. Her record covers 1195 resolved cases, with an 82.5% allowance rate and a median of 678 days to allowance. Interview lift is 11.1%, reflecting a positive association that is smaller than the overall allowance signal.
The leading companies are D'Addario & Company Inc., Roland Corporation, and Playcore Wisconsin Inc. The associated firms are ALIX, YALE & RISTAS, LLP, CROWELL & MORING LLP, and Dentons Durham Jones Pinegar. The high case volume and relatively short median timing provide a substantial basis for planning, while the interview result supports using interviews selectively rather than treating them as the primary lever.
