Examiner: AWAIS, MUHAMMAD SUMRAIZ

Analysis

Muhammad Sumraiz Awais is an examiner in Tech Center 3600 and Art Unit 3651. He has managed 204 resolved cases with an allowance rate pct of 81.9%. This 81.9% rate indicates that a majority of the applications in his portfolio result in a grant. The median days to allowance for these cases is 800, which establishes a timeline for practitioners to expect when prosecuting in this art unit. For the 204 resolved cases, this 800-day period represents the median duration from filing to issuance for successful applications.

The data shows an interview lift pct of 9.5%. This 9.5% lift is an increase in the probability of allowance when an interview is conducted compared to the 81.9% baseline allowance rate. This suggests that direct communication with the examiner is a method for resolving outstanding rejections. Practitioners can use the 9.5% lift to evaluate the impact of an interview, as it correlates with a higher success rate than the baseline. The 800-day median suggests that the process in Art Unit 3651 is relatively efficient for the 204 resolved cases.
