This examiner grants 38% of resolved cases

Analysis

Michael Paul Mirabito has 44 resolved cases in Art Unit 2146. His allowance rate is 36.4 percent, which is a relatively low rate for Tech Center 4100. This baseline reflects a rigorous examination environment for the applications assigned to his docket.

The interview lift is very low at 2.8 percent. This 2.8 percent lift suggests that interviews have had a minimal impact on the 36.4 percent allowance rate. Practitioners may find that other strategies, such as formal amendments or appeals, are more effective for overcoming rejections.

The median days to allowance is 1426. This long duration for 44 resolved cases indicates a difficult and slow prosecution process. The 1426 day median is a critical factor for applicants to consider when managing their expectations for pendency in Art Unit 2146.
