Tech Center 2100 • Art Units: 2166

This examiner grants 58% of resolved cases

Analysis

Navneet K. Gmahl has resolved 400 cases in Art Unit 2166 within Tech Center 2100. The allowance rate is 57.5%, which is a moderate figure suggesting a balanced examination approach. However, the median days to allowance is 1710, indicating an exceptionally long prosecution period that spans several years. Practitioners should prepare their clients for a 1710-day timeline and the associated costs of a protracted engagement.

The interview lift is 38.0%, which is very high and suggests that interviews are critical for success with this examiner. Given the long timeline, practitioners should use interviews early and often to try and move the case forward and improve the 57.5% baseline. The 38.0% lift is a strong signal that direct communication can overcome the hurdles that lead to delays. With 400 resolved cases, the data clearly shows that while the process is slow, personal engagement is one of the most effective ways to secure a grant.
