Tech Center 4100 • Art Units: 2422 4100

This examiner grants 80% of resolved cases

Analysis

Samira Monshi examines applications in Tech Center 4100 and Art Unit 2422, where she has handled 506 resolved cases. Her 80.0% allowance rate indicates that four out of five applications reaching a final resolution result in a patent. The median days to allowance is 827, reflecting the path through the examination process for successful applicants.

The interview lift for this examiner is 6.0%. While positive, this lift is small compared to the 80.0% base allowance rate, suggesting that written prosecution is often sufficient to reach a favorable outcome. With 506 resolved cases as a sample size, the 827-day median pendency is a reliable metric for planning. Practitioners may find that while the 6.0% lift provides some advantage, the 80.0% overall allowance rate makes the examiner’s docket accessible through standard response procedures.
