Examiner: ROHD, BENJAMIN MATTHEW

Tech Center 2100 • Art Units: 2124 2145 2147 2148 2151

This examiner grants 20% of resolved cases

Analysis

Benjamin Matthew Rohd has a sample of 5 resolved cases in Tech Center 2100 and Art Unit 2124. The allowance rate is 20.0 percent, and the median days to allowance is 1528. These early metrics suggest a challenging environment with a wait of over four years for a grant. Practitioners should be aware that with only 5 resolved cases, these statistics are preliminary and may change as more data becomes available.

The interview lift is 100.0 percent. This indicates that in the few instances where an interview occurred, it was successful in moving the case toward allowance. However, the 20.0 percent base rate and the 1528-day median pendency remain the primary benchmarks for now. In Tech Center 2100, applicants should monitor this examiner's docket closely as more resolutions are reached. While the current data set is thin, the interview lift suggests that direct communication could be a tool for overcoming the initial difficulties observed in these 5 resolved cases in Art Unit 2124.
