Analysis

PRASAD, NEIL R examines in Tech Center 4100 and Art Unit 1713. His profile records 723 resolved cases, an 85.5% allowance rate, and a median of 825 days to allowance. The 9.6% interview lift is positive, but it is materially smaller than the allowance rate itself, so interviews appear to be a supporting tactic rather than the central signal.

Frequent applicants include Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd., Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., and Wolfspeed Inc. The listed firms are DORITY & MANNING, P.A., JCIPRNET, and Muir Patent Law, PLLC, giving practitioners identifiable examples of representation in this docket.

The data supports early attention to claim presentation and a disciplined prosecution schedule. The allowance rate indicates that favorable outcomes are common in the resolved set, while the median timing remains long enough to make continuation, amendment, and interview decisions consequential.
