Analysis

Examiner Farzad Kazeminezhad is assigned to Tech Center 2600 and Art Unit 2626, where he has handled 547 resolved cases. The allowance rate of 71.1 percent indicates the environment for patent applicants in this office. However, the process requires patience, as the median days to allowance is 1276, reflecting the commitment required to reach a final grant.

A key metric in this profile is the interview lift of 66.5 percent. This value suggests that interviews are effective at moving cases toward allowance. For practitioners, this 66.5 percent lift is a signal to prioritize oral communication with the examiner to resolve issues. Given the 547 resolved cases, this trend is supported by the data. While the 1276-day median timeline is substantial, the 71.1 percent allowance rate combined with a successful interview strategy offers a clear path to success for those navigating prosecution in Art Unit 2626.
