This examiner grants 95% of resolved cases

Analysis

Patricia Ann Palasik is a highly experienced examiner in Art Unit 2915 within Tech Center 2900, having resolved 1301 cases. The allowance rate is exceptionally high at 95.4 percent, indicating that nearly every application handled by this examiner eventually reaches a grant. Furthermore, the median days to allowance is quite efficient at 603 days. This combination of a 95.4 percent allowance rate and a 603-day timeline makes this one of the more favorable profiles for applicants in the design or related fields of Tech Center 2900.

The interview lift is recorded at 2.8 percent. While this is a positive value, its impact is limited by the fact that the baseline allowance rate is already 95.4 percent. There is very little room for improvement when the vast majority of the 1301 resolved cases are already successful. The 603-day median pendency suggests a rapid pace of prosecution, which is likely a priority for practitioners working with this examiner. Given the high volume of 1301 cases, these metrics are statistically robust and provide a reliable guide for expectations in Art Unit 2915.
