This examiner grants 95% of resolved cases

Analysis

Mohammed A. Bashar is an examiner in Tech Center 2800, working within Art Unit 1681. He has a volume of 673 resolved cases, which provides a reliable data set for analysis. His allowance rate is 95.1 percent, suggesting a favorable environment for patent applicants. Furthermore, the median time to allowance is 666 days, which is efficient compared to many other examiners.

The interview lift for Bashar is 3.3 percent. While this is a positive increase, the baseline allowance rate of 95.1 percent is already high enough that the impact of an interview is statistically marginal. With 673 resolved cases to his credit, the 666 days median pendency is a well-supported figure for planning purposes. Applicants in Art Unit 1681 can expect a high probability of success and a relatively quick path to allowance. The 3.3 percent lift suggests that while interviews are not strictly necessary, they still provide a slight benefit in the prosecution process.
