Examiner: SHAH, KAMINI S

Analysis

Kamini S. Shah is an examiner in Tech Center 2100 and Art Unit 2100. Her record includes 79 resolved cases, which reveal the current examination landscape. The allowance rate is 19.0 percent, indicating the frequency at which applications reach a grant. This 19.0 percent baseline suggests that practitioners should be prepared for a rigorous review process.

The role of interviews in this context is notable, with an interview lift of 17.0 percent. When compared to the 19.0 percent baseline allowance rate, this lift represents a measurable improvement in the chances of success. Engaging in direct communication may be an effective way to navigate the difficulties presented by the 19.0 percent grant rate. However, even with the 17.0 percent lift, the overall probability of allowance remains a factor to consider.

The time required to secure a patent is also significant, with a median days to allowance of 1411. This 1411 day pendency, combined with the 19.0 percent allowance rate, highlights the duration of the prosecution process in this art unit. Applicants should expect a specific timeline across the 79 resolved cases analyzed in this profile. The 1411 day figure serves as a benchmark for planning in Art Unit 2100.
