Examiner: REZA, MOHAMMAD W

Analysis

Mohammad W. Reza, an examiner in Tech Center 2400 and Art Unit 2136, has overseen 959 resolved cases. His allowance rate of 87.5% is high, indicating a receptive environment for patent applicants. This rate suggests that a majority of the applications he resolves result in a grant, providing a strong statistical basis for a positive outcome during the prosecution process.

The median days to allowance is 998, which offers a predictable timeline for applicants seeking a grant. The data also reveals an interview lift of 11.2%. This figure shows that while the 87.5% baseline is already strong, conducting an interview can still provide a meaningful increase in the chances of success, potentially addressing any remaining concerns the examiner may have.

For the 959 resolved cases, the 11.2% interview lift is a useful strategic consideration. The 998-day median duration is a standard timeframe for this tech center. Practitioners should view the high 87.5% allowance rate as a primary indicator of success, while using interviews as a supplementary tool to ensure a smooth and efficient path to grant in Art Unit 2136.
