Analysis

Yogesh C. Garg is an examiner in Tech Center 3600 and Art Unit 3625. Garg has handled 767 resolved cases, with an allowance rate of 61.7 percent. This 61.7 percent allowance rate indicates the frequency of applications reaching a final disposition under his review that are granted. The 767 resolved cases provide a substantial data set for understanding the examiner's typical outcomes and procedural pace.

The impact of examiner interviews is significant in Garg's profile. The data shows an interview lift of 33.4 percent, indicating that direct communication greatly improves the chances of obtaining a grant compared to cases without an interview. This 33.4 percent lift suggests that practitioners should actively seek interviews to resolve issues and clarify claim scope. In Art Unit 3625, an interview appears to be a highly effective tool for moving a case toward allowance.

The median time to allowance is 1111 days. This 1111 day period is the typical duration from filing to patent issuance for successful applications. This 1111 day median indicates a moderate prosecution cycle, which applicants should account for in their strategic planning. With 767 resolved cases, this timing metric is a well-established benchmark for pendency expectations.
