Examiner: LONG, MEREDITH A

Analysis

Meredith A Long has resolved 421 cases in Tech Center 3600 and Art Unit 3622. The examiner's allowance rate is 43.2 percent, and the median days to allowance is 1207. These figures provide a baseline for evaluating prosecution success and duration. The 1207-day figure is a benchmark for practitioners to use when planning their timelines. The 43.2 percent rate indicates the likelihood of an application being allowed once it reaches a final resolution.

The interview lift of 21.1 percent indicates that engaging with the examiner can increase the probability of success relative to the 43.2 percent allowance rate. This lift suggests that interviews are a useful tool during prosecution. The 421 resolved cases provide the statistical foundation for these metrics. Practitioners should factor the 1207-day median pendency into their overall strategy when seeking an allowance. The 21.1 percent lift is a factor to consider when deciding whether to engage in verbal advocacy.
