This examiner grants 80% of resolved cases

Analysis

Jigar P. Patel works in Tech Center 2100 and Art Unit 2114. The examiner has 597 resolved cases and an allowance rate of 80.2 percent. A key metric for practitioners is the interview lift of 16.6 percent. This figure suggests that engaging in a direct dialogue with the examiner is a productive strategy that significantly increases the probability of an allowance.

The median time to allowance is 1129 days. This duration is a standard expectation for applications in this art unit. The 80.2 percent allowance rate, combined with the 16.6 percent interview lift, indicates that while the examiner is generally open to granting patents, the interview process is a valuable tool for overcoming specific rejections. Practitioners should consider the 1129-day median when advising clients on timelines and should actively use the 16.6 percent lift to their advantage during the prosecution of the 597 cases typically seen in this portfolio.
