The profile covers 26 resolved cases, with an allowance rate of 80.8%, an interview lift of 25.0%, and a median time to allowance of 1094 days. The allowance and interview figures provide useful directional information, but the relatively limited resolved-case record makes careful matter-by-matter review important before relying on broad behavioral conclusions.

Practitioners can use these names to locate relevant prosecution examples and to prepare interview positions that address the claim language and technology at issue rather than assuming that the historical allowance pattern will apply uniformly.
