Examiner: BENDIDI, RACHID

Analysis

Rachid Bendidi examines applications in Tech Center 3600 and Art Unit 3664, with 484 resolved cases. The allowance rate is 78.5 percent, which is quite high and suggests a receptive approach to patent prosecution. This 78.5 percent rate, established over 484 cases, provides a strong statistical basis for expecting a favorable outcome.

The interview lift of 20.1 percent is a significant positive indicator. It suggests that engaging in an interview with the examiner increases the likelihood of allowance by a substantial margin over the 78.5 percent baseline. For practitioners, the 20.1 percent lift highlights the value of direct communication in Art Unit 3664.

The median days to allowance is 940. This duration is a key factor for planning, as it defines the typical timeline for reaching a grant. Given the 484 resolved cases, the 78.5 percent allowance rate and 940-day median are well-supported. The 20.1 percent interview lift offers a clear strategy for potentially improving the odds of success within that 940-day period.
