Analysis

KRIM, PETER is assigned to tech center 2800 and art unit 2833. The record includes 125 resolved cases, an allowance rate of 83.2%, an interview lift of 3.5%, and a median of 851 days to allowance. The interview-associated cases had a higher allowance outcome than the overall record.

Samsung Display Co., Ltd., Lenovo (United States) Inc., and Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. are the listed companies. The leading firms are Alleman Hall LLP, Alliance IP, LLC - Intel, and Anova Law Group, PLLC. The allowance rate and median timing provide a useful historical basis for planning prosecution. The modest positive interview lift supports selective use of interviews when an explanation may resolve a focused rejection, but it does not replace a complete written response. Practitioners should preserve the claim distinctions and technical reasoning established during prosecution.
