Tech Center 3600 • Art Units: 3658 3664
This examiner grants 75% of resolved cases
Mohamad O. El Sayah manages a portfolio of 239 resolved cases in Art Unit 3658 within Tech Center 3600. The examiner maintains an allowance rate of 75.3 percent, which reflects a consistent pattern of granting patents. This rate suggests that three out of every four applications reaching a final resolution result in an allowance, indicating a relatively predictable path for practitioners.
The interview lift is 3.6 percent. While this is a positive figure, it suggests that interviews provide only a modest increase in the probability of allowance beyond the baseline. Practitioners might find that the high 75.3 percent allowance rate already covers most successful outcomes, making the marginal gain from an interview less significant than with other examiners. However, the 3.6 percent lift still supports the use of interviews for resolving specific technical disagreements.
The median days to allowance is 961. This duration indicates a relatively efficient prosecution timeline for applications that reach a successful conclusion. The 961-day benchmark allows practitioners to set realistic expectations for clients regarding the time required to navigate Art Unit 3658 under this examiner's review.
