This examiner grants 26% of resolved cases

Analysis

RAMESH, TIRUMALE K has resolved 50 cases in Tech Center 2800 and Art Unit 2121. The allowance rate is 26.0%, the interview lift is 22.1%, and the median time to allowance is 1738 days. The limited resolved-case base calls for caution when drawing broad conclusions, but the figures indicate infrequent allowance and a long median prosecution path.

The listed companies are Robert Bosch GmbH, International Business Machines Corporation, and Google LLC. The listed firms are NORTON ROSE FULBRIGHT US LLP, Arch & Lake LLP, and CARTER, DELUCA & FARRELL LLP. Practitioners may want to develop a detailed record of claim construction, technical distinctions, and fallback positions from the outset. Interviews can be considered as one component of that approach, but the available history does not support relying on interview results alone.
