Examiner: RUSSELL, SYDNEY REYES

Tech Center 3700 • Art Units: 3785 3786

This examiner grants 49% of resolved cases

Analysis

Sydney Reyes Russell is in Art Unit 3785 of Tech Center 3700. She has 35 resolved cases and an allowance rate of 48.6%. The interview lift is 48.5%, and the median days to allowance is 1309. This profile highlights the critical importance of interviews.

The 48.6% allowance rate shows a moderate baseline for success, but the 48.5% interview lift is exceptionally high, suggesting that interviews are the most effective way to secure a grant. Practitioners should always consider an interview if a rejection is received. The 1309-day median to allowance indicates a slower prosecution process. With 35 cases resolved, the data points to a clear strategy: use the 48.5% lift to overcome the challenges of the 1309-day median timeline.
