This examiner grants 76% of resolved cases

Analysis

Mariela Vidal Carpio is an examiner in Tech Center 2400 with 289 resolved cases. Her allowance rate of 76.5 percent is high, suggesting a favorable prosecution environment in Art Unit 2476. The median days to allowance is 1178, which provides a clear expectation for the time required to reach a successful grant in her docket. This timeframe suggests a steady pace of resolution for applications under her review.

The interview lift for this examiner is a minimal 1.1 percent. This indicates that while interviews are not harmful, they do not provide a significant statistical advantage over standard written prosecution. Given the high 76.5 percent base allowance rate, most applicants achieve success without direct engagement. With 289 resolved cases as a baseline, practitioners can expect a high probability of allowance within the 1178-day median timeframe through regular prosecution efforts. The 1.1 percent lift is a secondary consideration.
