Analysis

Kibrom K. Gebresilassie, an examiner in Tech Center 2100 and Art Unit 2128, has 723 resolved cases. The allowance rate is 72.3%, which is a favorable rate for applicants. This high rate suggests that the majority of applications are eventually granted under this examiner's review, indicating a productive environment for securing patent rights.

The interview lift is 25.8%, indicating that interviews are a highly effective strategy for securing an allowance with this examiner. The substantial lift suggests that oral advocacy can resolve many outstanding issues and move the application toward a grant more effectively than written correspondence alone. Practitioners should prioritize scheduling an interview to address any examiner concerns.

The median days to allowance is 1323. This is a relatively long timeline, suggesting that while the examiner is likely to grant a patent, the process involves multiple actions and significant time. Applicants should prepare for a prosecution cycle that extends beyond three and a half years, even with a high probability of success.
