This examiner grants 75% of resolved cases
SHOULDERS, ANNIE LEE is assigned to tech center 3700 and art unit 3794. The record includes 215 resolved cases, an allowance rate of 74.9%, and a median of 1299 days to allowance. The 17.8% interview lift is lower than the allowance rate as a percentage measure, while the 1299-day median indicates that allowance may require a lengthy prosecution path.

The leading firms are Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP, SEAGER, TUFTE & WICKHEM, LLP, and OLIFF PLC. This combination of a relatively high allowance rate and extended median timing can help practitioners separate outcome expectations from scheduling expectations when managing matters in art unit 3794.
