Analysis

Miguel Alexander Lopez has resolved 33 cases in Tech Center 2400 and Art Unit 2496. The examiner's allowance rate is 6.1 percent, and the median days to allowance is 1189. These figures provide a benchmark for expected outcomes and pendency. The 1189-day figure is a metric for practitioners to use when managing prosecution timelines. The 6.1 percent rate indicates the likelihood of an application being allowed once it reaches a final resolution.

The interview lift of 10.0 percent indicates that interviews are associated with an increase in the probability of allowance relative to the 6.1 percent baseline. This lift suggests that direct engagement can be a factor in securing an allowance. Practitioners should consider the 10.0 percent lift when managing the 1189-day median pendency. The 33 resolved cases provide the statistical foundation for these metrics. These figures offer a clear view of the prosecution landscape for this examiner.
