Listed by the USPTO as GEBREMARIAM, SAMUEL A

Tech Center 2800 • Art Units: 2811

This examiner grants 83% of resolved cases

Analysis

Samuel A. Gebremariam has managed 850 resolved cases in Art Unit 2811, maintaining a strong allowance rate of 83.3%. This is a positive indicator for major filers like Texas Instruments and TSMC in Tech Center 2800. The median days to allowance of 1005 suggests a prosecution cycle of a significant duration.

The interview lift of 8.1% provides a modest benefit for practitioners at firms like ARENTFOX SCHIFF LLP and Edell, Shapiro, & Finnan, LLC. Given the 83.3% allowance rate, many cases likely proceed to grant without the need for an interview. The 1005 median days to allowance for 850 resolved cases reflects a consistent and reliable examination process. The 8.1% interview lift remains a useful tool for practitioners navigating the 83.3% allowance rate and the 1005 median days to allowance.
