This examiner grants 33% of resolved cases

Analysis

Aidan William McCoy is an examiner in Tech Center 2600 and Art Unit 2611. The data is based on 5 resolved cases, which is a small sample size. The current allowance rate is 40.0%, suggesting a moderately challenging environment. While the 40.0% rate is based on a limited number of outcomes, it provides an initial indication of the examiner's tendencies in Art Unit 2611. Applicants should be prepared for a rigorous examination process.

The interview lift is a very high 75.0%. This suggests that in the few cases resolved, interviews were exceptionally effective at moving applications toward allowance. The median days to allowance is 883, which is a relatively efficient timeline for prosecution. This 883-day figure indicates that cases reaching allowance do so in a reasonable timeframe. For practitioners, the 75.0% interview lift is the most striking data point, even with only 5 resolved cases. It suggests that direct engagement is a primary strategy for overcoming rejections and improving the 40.0% baseline allowance rate. Early interviews may be particularly useful given the 883-day median pendency in Tech Center 2600.
