Analysis

Prashant J. Khatri is an examiner in Tech Center 3600 and Art Unit 1717, where he has handled 881 resolved cases. His allowance rate is 61.4 percent, and the median days to allowance is 1246. These metrics suggest a moderate probability of success and a prosecution cycle that typically lasts over 1246 days for the 61.4 percent of cases that reach a grant.

The interview lift is 28.0 percent, which is a strong indicator of the value of personal engagement. This lift suggests that Khatri is very responsive to arguments made during interviews. For practitioners, this data points to a clear strategy: while the 61.4 percent baseline success rate is moderate, an interview can significantly increase the odds of a favorable outcome and help resolve complex issues more effectively.

Given the 1246 median days to allowance, applicants should be prepared for a multi-year prosecution process. However, the 28.0 percent interview lift provides a powerful mechanism for overcoming rejections. Strategy should involve early and frequent engagement with the examiner to capitalize on his receptiveness to verbal arguments and to improve the overall chances of securing a patent.
