Analysis

Nimesh G. Patel serves in Tech Center 2100 and Art Unit 2111. The examiner has handled 734 resolved cases, maintaining an allowance rate of 77.1 percent. This 77.1 percent rate indicates a relatively high likelihood of obtaining a patent grant for applications in this art unit.

The interview lift is 7.5 percent. This figure suggests that while interviews are beneficial, the impact is somewhat limited compared to the high 77.1 percent base allowance rate. Practitioners should still consider interviews to clarify technical points, but the 7.5 percent lift indicates that the written record is already quite effective for reaching an allowance.

The median days to allowance is 1054. This 1054 day timeline is the typical duration for applications that successfully navigate the 77.1 percent allowance threshold. With a 7.5 percent interview lift, the 1054 day period likely involves efficient communication between the applicant and the examiner to resolve any outstanding rejections.
