Analysis

Khalid M Almaghayreh, working in Tech Center 2600 and Art Unit 2431, has 259 resolved cases. The allowance rate is 83.8 percent, showing a strong tendency to grant patents. This 83.8 percent rate indicates that the vast majority of the 259 cases are successful. Practitioners should find this examiner to be very favorable for their applications.

The interview lift of 24.0 percent indicates that interviews are an effective way to resolve any outstanding issues. The median days to allowance is 950, which is an efficient timeline for reaching a grant.
