The interview lift of 34.4% is significant. Given the 65.0% allowance rate and the 1443-day median pendency, an interview appears to be a key tactic for overcoming rejections and potentially accelerating the process. Practitioners should use the interview to address the examiner's concerns directly. The 574 resolved cases provide a solid data set for evaluating these trends. Utilizing the 34.4% lift can help move the application toward an allowance more reliably than written arguments alone. This examiner's profile highlights the value of direct engagement in a long prosecution cycle to reach a final resolution.
