Analysis

Cordelia P. K. Zecher handles cases in Tech Center 2400 and Art Unit 2100. With 527 resolved cases, the examiner has an allowance rate of 48.0 percent. This rate suggests that a portion of the applications reaching a resolution result in a grant. The 527 cases provide a history for analyzing these trends and the 48.0 percent allowance rate.

The median days to allowance is 1395, reflecting the prosecution period. However, the interview lift of 26.4 percent indicates that communication during an interview is a strategy for improving outcomes. This 26.4 percent lift represents the increase in allowance probability when an interview is conducted. Given the baseline allowance rate, practitioners may find that the 26.4 percent lift is a factor in overcoming rejections during the 1395-day median pendency for the resolved cases.
