Analysis

ALSOMAIRY, SELWA ABDO is associated with tech center 3700 and art unit 2199. The record includes 25 resolved cases, a 44.0% allowance rate, and a 1286-day median time to allowance. Interviews show a 36.9% lift, the strongest positive interview signal in this profile. The allowance result remains below half of resolved cases, so the interview figure should be viewed as a potential procedural advantage within a demanding prosecution record.

Nintendo Co., Ltd., Cygames Inc., and Sony Group Corporation are the listed companies. The listed firms are CHRISTENSEN O'CONNOR JOHNSON KINDNESS PLLC, HESLIN ROTHENBERG FARLEY & MESITI PC, and LUNG TIN LLC. Given the limited case base and extended median timing, practitioners should use the figures to inform preparation and expectation setting, not to predict the outcome of an individual application.
