Examiner: PIATESKI, ERIN M

Analysis

Erin M. Piateski works in Tech Center 3700 and Art Unit 2853, with 473 resolved cases. The allowance rate is 73.6%, which suggests a favorable environment for applicants. This 73.6% rate indicates a high likelihood of reaching an allowance. The median days to allowance is 981, reflecting an efficient prosecution timeline of less than three years. Practitioners can use this 981-day figure to plan their prosecution cycles effectively.

The interview lift of 29.1% is quite high, making interviews a strongly recommended strategy. This 29.1% lift suggests that oral advocacy is particularly effective at resolving issues and moving cases toward allowance with this examiner. Given the 73.6% baseline allowance rate, an interview can significantly enhance the probability of a positive outcome. With 473 resolved cases, these metrics are well-established. Applicants should prioritize direct engagement to take advantage of the high interview lift and maintain the momentum indicated by the 981-day median pendency.
