Examiner: HANNA, SAMUEL SALEEB

Analysis

Samuel Saleeb Hanna serves as an examiner in Art Unit 3775 within Tech Center 3700. The examiner has 584 resolved cases and an allowance rate of 58.0 percent. This dataset provides a clear view of the prosecution landscape for applications in this mechanical engineering or medical device technology area. The 58.0 percent rate suggests a balanced approach to examination, with a majority of the cases reaching a grant.

The median time to allowance for these cases is 1325 days. This duration is a critical factor for practitioners to consider when planning their patent strategy and managing client expectations for the duration of the prosecution process. The 1325-day figure represents the middle point of the pendency for successful applications. It serves as a useful benchmark for estimating how long a typical case might remain under review before reaching a final disposition in Art Unit 3775.

The data indicates an interview lift of 36.8 percent. This positive lift suggests that direct engagement with the examiner is a highly effective strategy for overcoming rejections and moving toward a grant. In an environment with a 58.0 percent allowance rate, a 36.8 percent increase in the probability of success following an interview is a significant tactical advantage. Practitioners should prioritize scheduling a formal discussion to resolve outstanding issues and improve their odds of an allowance.
