This examiner grants 73% of resolved cases
Santosh Sharma manages cases in Art Unit 1661 with an allowance rate of 72.8% across 114 resolved cases. The median days to allowance of 1062 reflects the prosecution timeline in Tech Center 1600 for companies like Pioneer Hi-bred International Inc. and Phytoteq Inc. This 1062-day figure is a standard benchmark for firms like BUCHALTER to manage. The data indicates a moderate but steady path to patent issuance.
An interview lift of 29.8% suggests that direct communication is an effective way to improve the 72.8% baseline allowance rate. Firms like DENTONS US LLP and ARENTFOX SCHIFF LLP frequently represent top filers here, utilizing the 29.8% lift to resolve technical issues. Nicoventures Trading Limited also features prominently among the 114 resolved cases. The 1062-day median pendency provides a clear expectation for the duration of the patent acquisition process. The combination of a 72.8% allowance rate and a strong interview lift makes this examiner a predictable presence for practitioners in the life sciences.
