Analysis

BENGZON, Greg C has resolved 497 cases in Tech Center 2400 and records a 57.3% allowance rate. The 10.1% interview lift is positive but limited, suggesting that interviews may help while leaving claim drafting and prior-art distinctions as central issues. The median time to allowance is 1432 days, so applicants should expect a lengthy prosecution process and plan responses accordingly.

Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., and Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. are the leading companies. FISH & RICHARDSON P.C. (TC), Knobbe, Martens, Olson & Bear, LLP, and ARENTFOX SCHIFF LLP - New York are the leading firms. In art unit 2144, counsel should use interviews selectively and document substantive agreements carefully.
