This examiner grants 48% of resolved cases
Amina S. Khan is an examiner in Tech Center 3700 and Art Unit 1754, with a large volume of 1039 resolved cases. Her allowance rate is 47.5 percent, which is below the average for many units and indicates a rigorous examination process. The median days to allowance for successful cases is 1207, suggesting a multi-year commitment for applicants.
Despite the 47.5 percent baseline allowance rate, the interview lift is remarkably high at 43.0 percent. This suggests that while written prosecution is difficult, personal engagement is extremely effective. Practitioners should view interviews as an essential component of their strategy when working with this examiner, as they provide a massive increase in the probability of securing an allowance compared to the baseline.
For applicants, the 1207 median days to allowance and the 47.5 percent allowance rate present a challenging path. However, the 43.0 percent interview lift offers a clear solution. Strategy should center on scheduling an interview as early as possible to resolve rejections and move the application toward a grant more efficiently than written responses alone.
