This examiner grants 78% of resolved cases

Analysis

Examiner Abigail Anne Risic works in Tech Center 3700 and Art Unit 3671. The examiner has a very high volume of 1128 resolved cases, making the data exceptionally robust. The allowance rate is 77.7%, which indicates a high likelihood of success for applications reaching a final disposition. This 77.7% rate suggests a very favorable prosecution environment.

The interview lift is 7.3%. This is a relatively low lift, suggesting that the examiner's high allowance rate is largely independent of whether an interview is conducted. While a 7.3% increase is still a benefit, it may not be as critical as it is with other examiners who have lower baseline success rates in Art Unit 3671.

The median days to allowance is 800. This is a relatively fast timeline for reaching a grant, and practitioners can use this 800-day figure to set expectations for their clients. The 1128 resolved cases provide a high degree of confidence in these metrics. The combination of a 77.7% allowance rate and a fast median pendency makes for an efficient prosecution process.
