Analysis

Stephanie Lynn Moore is in Tech Center 1700 and Art Unit 1747, with 213 resolved cases. The allowance rate is 61.0%, and the median days to allowance is 1325. An interview lift of 38.4% is a significant factor in her prosecution profile.

The 61.0% allowance rate is the baseline, while the 1325-day median pendency is the expected timeline. The 38.4% interview lift suggests that direct engagement is a powerful way to improve the odds of allowance. For the 213 resolved cases, the data shows that interviews are a key strategy for overcoming rejections. Practitioners should use the 38.4% lift to address the examiner's concerns directly, which may also help to manage the 1325-day median timeline.
