This examiner grants 50% of resolved cases

Analysis

Matthew Eric Ogles, working in Art Unit 3791 of Tech Center 3700, has handled 118 resolved cases. His allowance rate stands at 50.0%, indicating an even split between grants and abandonments. The most striking data point is the 57.0% interview lift, which represents a substantial increase in the likelihood of allowance when an interview is conducted.

Prosecution under this examiner involves a median of 1240 days to allowance. Given the 50.0% baseline, the 57.0% lift suggests that an interview is a critical component for overcoming hurdles in these 118 cases. Practitioners should prioritize early interviews to mitigate the 1240-day pendency and secure a more favorable outcome.

The 57.0% lift is one of the most significant metrics for this examiner, suggesting that direct communication can resolve issues that written responses might not. Navigating the 1240-day timeline requires a proactive approach to communication. This strategy is supported by the data from the 118 cases managed by Ogles.
