Examiner: MILLER, MAKENNA RYLEIGH

Tech Center 4100 • Art Units: 1611 1614 4100

This examiner grants 100% of resolved cases

Analysis

Makenna Ryleigh Miller is an examiner in Tech Center 4100 and Art Unit 1611, with 2 resolved cases. Both of these cases resulted in an allowance, leading to a 100.0% allowance rate. The median days to allowance for these resolutions was 1259, which is a relatively long timeline for applicants to navigate before reaching a final grant.

The interview lift is 0.0%, though this is based on the very limited data of 2 resolved cases. Since the allowance rate is already at 100.0%, the lift metric does not currently show any increase in success probability from interviewing. Practitioners should view these figures as preliminary given the minimal case volume and the specific nature of the cases handled in Art Unit 1611.

With only 2 resolved cases, the 1259-day median pendency and 100.0% allowance rate provide a narrow window into Miller's practice. The absence of an interview lift may change as more cases are resolved and the examiner's experience grows in Tech Center 4100. For now, the data suggests a successful, albeit slow, track record that practitioners should monitor as more resolutions are recorded.
