Analysis

KOSHY, JOPHY STEPHEN is assigned to tech center 3700 and art unit 1733. The record includes 520 resolved cases, an allowance rate of 63.8%, and a median of 1226 days to allowance. The interview lift is 39.8%, showing a higher allowance outcome among cases associated with interviews than across the overall record.

The listed firms are BIRCH STEWART KOLASCH & BIRCH, LLP, Davidson Kappel LLC, and Barclay Damon LLP. The positive interview figure supports making examiner interaction part of a coordinated response strategy. Because the allowance rate is below the level shown for many high-allowance records, practitioners should use interviews to clarify claim scope and technical distinctions, then preserve those distinctions in the written record. The median timing also calls for deliberate docket planning.
