Analysis

Muhammed Azam is an examiner in Tech Center 2800 and Art Unit 2847. He has managed 413 resolved cases with an allowance rate pct of 86.7%. This 86.7% rate indicates that a large majority of the applications in his portfolio result in a grant. The median days to allowance for these cases is 743, which establishes a timeline for practitioners to expect when prosecuting in this art unit. For the 413 resolved cases, this 743-day period represents the median duration from filing to issuance for successful applications.

The data shows an interview lift pct of 11.1%. This 11.1% lift is an increase in the probability of allowance when an interview is conducted compared to the 86.7% baseline allowance rate. This suggests that direct communication with the examiner is a method for resolving outstanding rejections. Practitioners can use the 11.1% lift to evaluate the impact of an interview, as it correlates with a higher success rate than the baseline. The 743-day median suggests that the process in Art Unit 2847 is relatively efficient for the 413 resolved cases.
