Analysis

Irakli Kiknadze serves in Tech Center 2800 and Art Unit 2882, having overseen 1092 resolved cases. The examiner demonstrates an allowance rate of 89.1, paired with a median days to allowance of 825. These figures suggest a consistent environment for patent applicants. The 825-day median is a benchmark for practitioners to use when forecasting the duration of the prosecution process.

The data reflects an interview lift of 7.9, showing a measured impact from direct engagement with the examiner. Given the volume of 1092 resolved cases, the 89.1 allowance rate is a reliable indicator of the examiner's disposition. Practitioners can expect a prosecution path with a median duration of 825 days. While the 7.9 lift is not the primary driver of success, it still offers a strategic advantage for those looking to secure an allowance beyond the 89.1 baseline.
