Tech Center 3600 • Art Units: 2409 3685 3697 3699
This examiner grants 49% of resolved cases
El Mehdi Oussir, working in Tech Center 3600 and Art Unit 2409, has handled 255 resolved cases. The allowance rate of 49.4 percent indicates a prosecution environment where many applications are not granted. This rate suggests that applicants should be prepared for rigorous examination and potential hurdles before achieving a patent grant. The 255 resolved cases show that success is not guaranteed in this unit.
The interview lift of 46.5 percent is nearly as high as the 49.4 percent allowance rate, suggesting that interviews are a critical tool for moving toward an allowance. This lift indicates a strong correlation between examiner communication and successful outcomes for applicants. Practitioners should also account for a median days to allowance of 1451, which reflects the prosecution timeline for these cases. Across the 255 resolved cases analyzed, the data underscores the impact of active verbal advocacy to improve the baseline allowance rate.
