This examiner grants 73% of resolved cases

Analysis

Kyle Robert Thomas works in Tech Center 3700 and Art Unit 3741, with 360 resolved cases. His allowance rate is 72.8, and the median days to allowance is 1001. These statistics reflect a consistent and generally positive outcome for applicants in this unit. The 360 resolved cases provide a reliable foundation for these performance metrics.

The interview lift of 28.4 is a significant factor. This high lift suggests that interviews are an exceptionally effective tool for improving the 72.8 allowance rate. For the 360 resolved cases, the 1001 day median timeline is a standard duration, and the 28.4 interview lift offers a reliable way to move cases toward a grant. Practitioners in Art Unit 3741 should prioritize interviews to capitalize on the examiner receptiveness to verbal dialogue. The 72.8 allowance rate indicates a good probability of success, which can be further enhanced by leveraging the 28.4 lift during the 1001 days of prosecution. This strategy is particularly useful for resolving technical rejections in Tech Center 3700.
