Analysis

Omar S. Ismail operates in Tech Center 2800 and Art Unit 2634. He has overseen 833 resolved cases. His allowance rate is 91.2 percent, which represents a very high likelihood of success for applicants. This 91.2 percent figure indicates that the vast majority of applications resolved by this examiner result in a patent grant, making it a favorable docket for applicants.

The interview lift is 10.0 percent. While the base allowance rate is already 91.2 percent, the 10.0 percent lift shows that interviews still provide a marginal benefit. Most cases appear to reach allowance regardless of whether an interview is conducted, but practitioners may still find value in direct communication to resolve specific technical points or streamline the final steps of prosecution.

The median days to allowance is 713. This 713 day timeline is quite efficient for the tech center. With a 91.2 percent allowance rate and a 713 day median, this examiner’s docket is characterized by both high success rates and relatively fast processing times for successful applications.
