This examiner grants 41% of resolved cases
Niketa I. Patel operates within Tech Center 3700 and Art Unit 2181. The examiner has 185 resolved cases with an allowance rate of 41.1 percent. This 41.1 percent rate suggests a selective examination process, where fewer than half of the resolved cases result in a patent grant.
The data indicates an interview lift of 8.3 percent. While positive, this 8.3 percent lift is modest compared to the 41.1 percent base allowance rate. This suggests that while interviews can be helpful, they may not be as transformative for this examiner as they are for others in Tech Center 3700. Practitioners should ensure their written arguments are robust even if an interview is planned.
The median days to allowance is 1295. This timeline represents the typical pendency for applications that successfully reach an allowance. Navigating the 1295 day process requires a persistent strategy, especially given the 41.1 percent allowance rate and the relatively small 8.3 percent lift provided by interviews.
