Analysis

KAPOOR, DEVAN is assigned to tech center 2100 and art unit 2126. The profile records 15 resolved cases, with an allowance rate of 6.7% and a median of 1572 days to allowance. The interview lift is 10.0%, showing a positive association but within a limited case history. The low allowance figure and extended duration support careful claim screening before filing.

Dell Products L.P., Adobe Inc., and EMC IP Holding Company LLC are the listed companies. The listed firms are AMIN, TUROCY & WATSON, LLP, FOLEY & LARDNER LLP, and GATES & COOPER LLP (General). Because the resolved-case base is small, practitioners should avoid treating the percentages as a stable prediction. Interviews may still assist issue clarification, but the record supports disciplined prosecution planning and close review of examiner objections.
