Analysis

Alma Dongfeng Schuster is an examiner in Art Unit 3612 of Tech Center 3600. Based on 6 resolved cases, she has an allowance rate of 100.0%. This rate indicates a very favorable environment for applicants, as every application reaching a final resolution under her review has resulted in a grant.

With 6 resolved cases, the 100.0% allowance rate and 921-day pendency offer a clear and positive expectation for practitioners navigating the examination process under this examiner.
