Analysis

Jaanzeb Chaangez Raja serves as an examiner in Art Unit 1736 within Tech Center 1700. The examiner has managed 27 resolved cases, providing a preliminary dataset for understanding prosecution tendencies. The allowance rate is 74.1 percent, which indicates a generally favorable environment for patent applicants. This 74.1 percent rate suggests that a majority of applications assigned to this examiner will eventually reach a grant in Art Unit 1736.

The median time to allowance is 1260 days, serving as a benchmark for the patent acquisition process. This 1260-day figure is an important factor for strategic planning and client communication. The data also shows an interview lift of 1.1 percent. Given the base allowance rate of 74.1 percent, the 1.1 percent lift suggests that interviews have a minimal impact on the final outcome. Practitioners may find that written prosecution is the most effective path to a grant, as the 1.1 percent lift indicates that verbal discussion rarely changes the result. The 27 resolved cases provide an initial basis for navigating the 1260-day median pendency.
