Analysis

Narciso Eduardo Montes is an examiner in Tech Center 4100 and Art Unit 1687. With only 8 resolved cases, the data set is currently limited but provides initial insights. The allowance rate is 50.0%, and the median days to allowance is 1484. The interview lift is 0.0%, indicating no change in outcome probability following an interview in the cases resolved so far.

Practitioners should note the 1484-day median pendency, which suggests a long prosecution cycle for applications in this docket. The 50.0% allowance rate means that half of the cases reached a final resolution with a grant. While the 0.0% interview lift does not show a statistical advantage yet, the small sample of 8 resolved cases means these figures may evolve. For now, the 1484-day timeline is the most significant factor for applicants to consider when managing expectations.
