Analysis

PUNTIER, CHRIS ALEJANDRO is assigned to Tech Center 2600 and Art Unit 2616. The record includes 45 resolved cases, with a 93.3% allowance rate and a median of 865 days to allowance. The 9.7% interview lift is comparatively modest within this profile, so the allowance result is not primarily explained by interview activity.

Canon Inc., Robert Bosch GmbH, and Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation are the leading companies. FOLEY & LARDNER LLP, MCCOY RUSSELL LLP, and NORTON ROSE FULBRIGHT US LLP are the leading firms. Because the case base is limited, practitioners should treat the figures as directional rather than conclusive.
