This examiner grants 90% of resolved cases

Analysis

SHIMELES, BEZAWIT NOLAWI has 10 resolved cases in Tech Center 2600 and Art Unit 1687. The allowance rate is 90.0%, the interview lift is 0.0%, and the median time to allowance is 923 days. The allowance outcome is favorable, but the small record and zero interview lift provide limited support for drawing broad conclusions about interview strategy.

MEDIT Corp., Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., and Beijing Zitiao Network Technology Co., Ltd. are the leading listed companies. SUGHRUE MION, PLLC, Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC, and CHERNOFF, VILHAUER, MCCLUNG & STENZEL, LLP are the leading listed firms. Practitioners should treat the 10-case record as preliminary. The 923-day median remains a useful timing reference for individual matters.
