This examiner grants 88% of resolved cases

Analysis

Muhammad S. Islam is an examiner in Tech Center 2800 and Art Unit 2825. He has 617 resolved cases. His allowance rate is 88.2 percent, which is a very high grant rate. This 88.2 percent figure indicates a very favorable environment for applicants, with the vast majority of resolved matters resulting in a notice of allowance for the applicant.

The interview lift is 8.9 percent. This 8.9 percent lift is modest, as the 88.2 percent baseline allowance rate is already quite high. Most cases reach allowance through standard written prosecution without a large interview lift, but an interview can still be a useful tool for resolving any minor technical issues that may arise during the process.

The median days to allowance is 737. This 737 day timeline is efficient for the tech center. The combination of an 88.2 percent allowance rate and a 737 day median makes this a very favorable docket for applicants, providing both a high probability of success and a relatively fast path to grant.
