This examiner grants 86% of resolved cases

Analysis

Ali Naraghi has resolved 788 cases in Tech Center 2800. The examiner maintains a high allowance rate of 86.4 percent and a fast median days to allowance of 944. This environment is very efficient for applicants in this art unit, where cases reach resolution quickly and successfully.

The interview lift of 5.0 percent shows that while the 86.4 percent allowance rate is already strong, interviews still offer a slight benefit. This is a useful tactic for top applicants like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd., Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., and LG Display Co., Ltd. The 5.0 percent lift remains a tool for resolving specific issues.

Firms such as BIRCH STEWART KOLASCH & BIRCH, LLP, Haynes and Boone, LLP (24061), and Muir Patent Law, PLLC frequently appear here. The 944 days to allowance is a strong indicator of efficiency, and the 86.4 percent allowance rate remains the primary driver of success.
