This examiner grants 82% of resolved cases
Michelle Lopez has resolved 1132 cases in Tech Center 3700 and Art Unit 2834. The examiner's allowance rate is 81.9 percent, and the median days to allowance is 1001. These figures provide a benchmark for expected outcomes and pendency. The 1001-day figure is a metric for practitioners to use when managing prosecution timelines. The 81.9 percent rate indicates the likelihood of an application being allowed once it reaches a final resolution.
The interview lift of 11.6 percent indicates that interviews are associated with an increase in the probability of allowance relative to the 81.9 percent baseline. This lift suggests that direct engagement can be a factor in securing an allowance. Practitioners should consider the 11.6 percent lift when managing the 1001-day median pendency. The 1132 resolved cases provide the statistical foundation for these metrics. These figures offer a clear view of the prosecution landscape for this examiner.
