This examiner grants 71% of resolved cases

Analysis

Mohammad Y. Meah has a high volume of 980 resolved cases in Art Unit 1652. He maintains an allowance rate of 70.8% and a median days to allowance of 1101. This suggests a productive but somewhat slow environment in Tech Center 1700. The 70.8% allowance rate indicates a good chance of success, while the 1101-day median points to a timeline of about three years for successful cases.

The interview lift is 42.7%, which is exceptionally high for an examiner with a 70.8% baseline. This data strongly encourages practitioners to conduct interviews to maximize the chances of allowance. The 42.7% lift suggests that direct communication is the most effective way to resolve objections in this docket. With 980 resolved cases, this trend is very well-supported. Practitioners should prioritize interviews to take advantage of the 42.7% lift and navigate the 1101-day median timeline more successfully.
