Analysis

Mathew Richard Syrowik is an examiner in Tech Center 3600, working in Art Unit 3621. With 211 resolved cases, he has a very low allowance rate of 9.0%.

The median days to allowance is 1556, which is a very long timeframe for prosecution. The combination of a 9.0% allowance rate and a 1556-day median suggests that applicants in Art Unit 3621 face a difficult and slow process. Practitioners should be prepared for rigorous examination and consider the 11.7% interview lift as a potential, albeit small, advantage in Tech Center 3600. The 1556-day median is a key factor for managing client expectations in this art unit.
