Analysis

Gary Mui has a high volume of 893 resolved cases in Tech Center 2600 and Art Unit 2400. The allowance rate pct is 87.5, which is much higher than the interview lift pct of 2.0.

The 2.0 interview lift pct indicates that most cases are resolved through written prosecution rather than verbal negotiation. With 893 resolved cases, the 87.5 allowance rate pct is a very reliable indicator of examiner behavior. The 950 days to allowance provides a clear timeline for applicants in Art Unit 2400. Practitioners should focus on the 87.5 allowance rate pct when advising clients on the probability of success.

The 2.0 interview lift pct suggests that resources might be better spent on the initial application rather than scheduling interviews. The 893 resolved cases demonstrate a consistent pattern of high allowance and a 950 day median timeline. This examiner's data reflects a highly efficient process within Tech Center 2600.
