This examiner grants 78% of resolved cases
Iftekhar A. Khan, based in Tech Center 4100 and Art Unit 1726, has resolved 609 cases with an allowance rate of 77.7 percent. The median days to allowance is 1186. These metrics suggest a high probability of success, though the process may take a significant amount of time to reach a final allowance from the 77.7 percent baseline.
The interview lift is 26.0 percent, which is a very strong indicator of the value of personal engagement. This lift suggests that Khan is highly receptive to arguments made during interviews. For practitioners, this data points to a clear strategy: while the 77.7 percent success rate is good, an interview can significantly increase the odds of a favorable outcome and potentially resolve complex issues more effectively.
Given the 1186 median days to allowance, applicants should prepare for a standard prosecution timeline. However, the 26.0 percent interview lift is a powerful tool for overcoming rejections. Strategy should involve scheduling an interview after the first office action to capitalize on the examiner's receptiveness and to improve the chances of a grant beyond the baseline rate.
