Tech Center 1700 • Art Units: 1735 1784
This examiner grants 16% of resolved cases
Catherine P. Smith has 177 resolved cases in Art Unit 1735. Her allowance rate is very low at 15.8%. The median days to allowance is 1494. These metrics suggest a very challenging environment in Tech Center 1700, where the 177 cases show a high rate of rejections and long pendency.
The interview lift of 16.1% provides some help, but the 15.8% base rate remains the main obstacle for applicants. Practitioners must be prepared for a difficult prosecution over a 1494-day period. Strategic interviews may be necessary to find any possible path to allowance, though the 16.1% lift indicates that even with an interview, success is not guaranteed. The 1494-day timeline reflects the significant effort required to reach a resolution with this examiner.
