Analysis

OMORI, MARY I is assigned to tech center 1700 and art unit 1712. The profile covers 319 resolved cases, a 50.8% allowance rate, and a median of 1105 days to allowance. Interview lift is 56.9%, indicating a strong positive association between interviews and allowance outcomes in the reported data. The allowance rate remains close to the midpoint despite that interview signal, so interviews should be treated as helpful rather than dispositive.

The principal companies are Posco Co. Ltd., General Electric Company, and Rolls-Royce plc. The listed firms are Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP (WA), CKC & Partners Co., LLC, and AGORA LAW GROUP, PLLC. The 1105-day median supports early attention to prosecution scheduling. Counsel may obtain value from a well-prepared interview, especially when the presentation identifies a clear path to allowable claim language and preserves meaningful fallback positions.
