Analysis

NAZRUL, SHAHBAZ has resolved 664 cases in Tech Center 2600 and Art Unit 2622. The allowance rate is 89.8%, with a median of 716 days to allowance. The substantial record and high allowance outcome indicate a favorable prosecution environment in the available data. The shorter timing shown here can support more confident planning, although individual claim complexity and prior-art issues remain controlling.

The interview lift is 5.8%, a modest positive association. Interviews may help resolve particular technical questions, but the figure does not suggest that they are essential to achieving allowance. Canon Inc., Samsung Electro-Mechanics Co., Ltd., and Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. are the leading companies. NSIP LAW, ARENTFOX SCHIFF LLP - New York, and CHIP LAW GROUP are the principal listed firms.
