Analysis

ELAHIAN, DANIEL is assigned to tech center 2400 and art unit 2400. The profile contains 43 resolved cases, an allowance rate of 74.4%, and a median of 1070 days to allowance. Interviews are associated with a 52.4% lift in the allowance rate.

The limited resolved-case history means the figures should be used with appropriate caution. Within that record, the allowance rate is substantial, and the interview lift is prominent. Counsel may therefore wish to prepare for an interview early when the application presents issues that could be resolved through direct technical or claim discussion.

SanDisk Technologies Inc., Google LLC, and Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. are the leading companies. DENTONS Durham Jones Pinegar, HARNESS DICKEY (DETROIT), and NSIP LAW are the leading firms.
