This examiner grants 93% of resolved cases

Analysis

Mehek Ahmed examines applications in Tech Center 2800 and Art Unit 2812, with 14 resolved cases. The examiner maintains a high allowance rate of 92.9%, which indicates that nearly all of the 14 cases resolved resulted in a grant. This 92.9% rate suggests a very favorable environment for applicants. However, the total of 14 cases is a small sample size compared to more senior examiners. Practitioners should view this 92.9% rate as a positive but early indicator of the examiner's tendencies.

The interview lift is 20.0%, suggesting that interviews are a highly effective tool for securing an allowance. This 20.0% lift indicates a strong benefit to direct communication with the examiner. The median days to allowance is 1293, which provides a timeline for the 92.9% of cases that are successful. Practitioners should factor this 1293-day median into their long-term planning when prosecuting patents in Art Unit 2812. The 1293-day figure represents the midpoint for reaching a grant in this unit.
