Analysis

Sagar Kc is an examiner in Tech Center 3700 and Art Unit 3656, with 133 resolved cases. The allowance rate of 86.5 percent suggests the environment for patent applicants in this unit. The median days to allowance is 920, which is the timeframe for cases that successfully navigate the examination process. This duration is a key factor for applicants to consider when planning their patent strategy.

The interview lift of 5.6 percent is relatively low, indicating that while interviews are slightly beneficial, they do not dramatically change the likelihood of success compared to the 86.5 percent baseline. Practitioners may find that the examiner is receptive to written arguments. With 133 resolved cases, the data provides a foundation for understanding the examiner's tendencies. The 920-day median timeline and the 5.6 percent lift suggest that while interviews are an option, they may not be as critical here as they are with other examiners. The high 86.5 percent allowance rate remains the primary driver of success.
