Analysis

PIATESKI, ERIN M is assigned to technology center 3700 and art unit 2853. The record contains 474 resolved cases, with an allowance rate of 73.6%. That case volume offers a substantial basis for assessing outcomes, and the rate indicates that allowances represent a majority of the resolved matters.

The median time to allowance is 981 days. Interview lift is 28.9%, showing a material positive relationship between interviews and allowance in the measured record. An interview may therefore be particularly useful when the prosecution issue can be narrowed through direct discussion.

The recurring companies are NEC Corporation, Volvo Group, and Deere & Company. The listed firms are HONIGMAN LLP, NIXON & VANDERHYE, PC, and Volvo and Withrow & Terranova. The profile points to a workable allowance path, but one where counsel should still account for nearly three years of median pendency.
