Analysis

SHAMEEM, GOLAM M is assigned to Tech Center 1600 and Art Unit 1621, with 898 resolved cases. The allowance rate is 86.7%, and the median time to allowance is 688 days. The interview lift is 15.9%, showing a positive but limited association between interviews and allowance outcomes. No art unit benchmark is supplied, so the figures support examiner-specific planning rather than a unit-wide comparison.

The leading companies are University of Florida Research Foundation Inc., THE GENERAL HOSPITAL Corporation, and Pfizer Inc. The principal firms are ALSTON & BIRD LLP, AMIN WASSERMAN GURNANI LLP, and BELL & ASSOCIATES. Applicants can plan around a favorable allowance result and a comparatively shorter median timing within this profile. Interviews remain useful, but the modest lift suggests that strong application preparation and focused written prosecution should remain central.
