Examiner: AZIZ, ABDULMAJEED

Analysis

Examiner Abdulmajeed Aziz operates within Art Unit 2875 in Tech Center 4100, where he has managed 200 resolved cases. His overall allowance rate of 43.0% suggests a rigorous prosecution environment for applicants. However, the data reveals a significant interview lift of 40.3% when compared to that baseline, indicating that direct engagement with the examiner is a highly effective strategy for overcoming rejections and moving toward a grant.

The median days to allowance for cases under this examiner is 1172. Given the substantial difference between the 43.0% base allowance rate and the success rate following an interview, practitioners should prioritize telephonic or video conferences. This approach may help navigate the 1172-day pendency more efficiently by resolving technical issues that are not easily addressed through written amendments alone. With 200 resolved cases, the examiner has an established record that highlights the importance of verbal communication in achieving a successful outcome.
