Analysis

Ali Naraghi is an examiner in Tech Center 2800, working in Art Unit 2800. He has a large volume of 785 resolved cases. His allowance rate is 86.4 percent, which is very high and indicates a strong likelihood of success for applicants. This 86.4 percent rate suggests that the vast majority of the 785 resolved cases he has handled resulted in a granted patent, providing a very favorable outlook for prosecution.

The interview lift for Naraghi is 5.1 percent. While this is a positive lift, it is relatively modest. This 5.1 percent lift suggests that while interviews can be helpful, they are not as critical to success as they might be with other examiners. Given the already high 86.4 percent allowance rate, practitioners may find that well-drafted written responses are often sufficient to move a case toward allowance without the need for an interview.

The median days to allowance for Naraghi is 944. This 944-day median is quite efficient, especially given the high volume of 785 resolved cases. A timeline of 944 days from filing to grant is a positive sign for applicants seeking a timely resolution. Overall, the combination of an 86.4 percent allowance rate and a 944-day median makes Naraghi a very efficient and favorable examiner to work with.
