Tech Center 3600 • Art Units: 3661 3668
This examiner grants 48% of resolved cases
Ahmed Alkirsh has resolved 65 cases in Tech Center 3600 and Art Unit 3661. The allowance rate is 47.7 percent, meaning slightly more than half of the 65 cases do not result in a grant. This 47.7 percent rate suggests a challenging path for applicants in this art unit.
The interview lift of 32.9 percent indicates that interviews are a productive strategy. By engaging with the examiner, the chances of allowance improve significantly over the baseline. The median days to allowance is 1106, which practitioners should factor into their long-term prosecution planning. The 32.9 percent lift is a key tool for overcoming rejections. Applicants should expect a 1106-day timeline for successful cases. These metrics suggest that while the initial allowance rate is below half, proactive communication can substantially improve the probability of a patent grant.
