Analysis

Jennifer M.H. Tichy operates in Tech Center 3700 and Art Unit 1653. The examiner has managed 616 resolved cases, maintaining an allowance rate of 64.9%. The median days to allowance is 1088, which is a duration for prosecution in this unit. These metrics suggest an environment where grants are achieved in about 1088 days.

The interview lift is 34.5%, which is an increase over the 64.9% baseline. This suggests that interviews are effective for this examiner. For practitioners, the 34.5% lift indicates that direct communication is a tool for overcoming rejections. Given the 1088-day median pendency, an interview may also be a tool for moving the case toward a grant. With 616 resolved cases, the data provides a foundation for this strategy. Prioritizing an interview appears to be a way to navigate prosecution in Art Unit 1653 and improve the chances of success beyond the 64.9% baseline.
