Analysis

Paul R. Myers is an examiner in Tech Center 2100, working in Art Unit 2111. He has a substantial track record with 789 resolved cases. His allowance rate is 79.3 percent, which is quite high and suggests a favorable outlook for applicants. This 79.3 percent rate indicates that the majority of applications reaching a final resolution under his review are successfully granted.

Interviews appear to be a beneficial part of the process with Myers. He has an interview lift of 13.5 percent. This 13.5 percent lift suggests that direct communication can help bridge gaps in understanding and lead to a higher probability of allowance. Practitioners should utilize this 13.5 percent lift to their advantage, especially in complex cases within Art Unit 2111 where written arguments may not be sufficient.

The median days to allowance for this examiner is 909. This 909-day median is relatively efficient, especially considering the high volume of 789 resolved cases. A timeline of 909 days from filing to grant is a positive sign for applicants seeking a timely resolution. Overall, the combination of a 79.3 percent allowance rate and a 909-day median makes Myers a relatively efficient examiner to work with.
