This examiner grants 75% of resolved cases
MEBRAHTU, EPHREM ZERU has 513 resolved cases in art unit 2872 and tech center 2800. The profile records a 74.9% allowance rate, an 8.6% interview lift, and median time to allowance of 1017 days. The examination record is substantial and shows a majority allowance outcome. The comparatively modest interview measure suggests that interviews may provide support without being the dominant driver of outcomes.
LG Innotek Co., Ltd., Apple Inc., and Canon Inc. are the listed companies. The associated firms are OLIFF PLC, Ascent Intellectual Property Law, and BAKER BOTTS L.L.P. Practitioners may focus on precise claim construction and written responses, using interviews to confirm the examiner's understanding and test possible paths to allowance. The median timing also supports planning for prosecution that may extend beyond an initial office-action cycle.
