Analysis

FAKHRO, ROWAN KHALED is assigned to technology center 2400 and art unit 2468. The record includes 23 resolved cases, a 82.6% allowance rate, an interview lift of 21.1%, and a median of 1078 days to allowance. The small case history shows a favorable allowance result and a positive interview association, but limits the certainty of broader predictions.

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., Google LLC, and Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. are among the listed companies. The associated firms are BANNER & WITCOFF , LTD, Bayes PLLC, and BROADVIEW IP LAW, PC. Practitioners may consider interviews as one useful part of response planning, while preserving claim alternatives because the evidence base is limited. The median timing indicates that even favorable matters may take sustained prosecution effort.
