Analysis

SHIMELES, BEZAWIT NOLAWI is an examiner in Tech Center 2600 and Art Unit 1687. The data shows 9 resolved cases for this examiner. The allowance rate is 88.9 percent, which indicates the proportion of grants among resolved applications. Practitioners can use this 88.9 percent figure to evaluate the probability of a successful outcome. The count of 9 resolved cases provides a basis for understanding the examiner's historical trends in this art unit.

The interview lift is 0.0 percent. This metric represents the difference in the allowance rate when an interview is conducted compared to the overall rate of 88.9 percent. An interview lift of 0.0 percent suggests that direct communication with the examiner has not been associated with an increased probability of receiving a grant in the cases resolved so far. Practitioners may find that written prosecution is sufficient, given the baseline allowance rate. This 0.0 percent lift is a factor to consider when developing a prosecution strategy.

The median days to allowance is 945. This number represents the middle value of the time taken from the start of prosecution to the issuance of a patent. A median of 945 days provides a timeline for applicants to manage their expectations regarding the duration of the process. The combination of the 88.9 percent allowance rate and the 945-day pendency characterizes the current prosecution environment. These metrics help in planning the resources and time required for applications assigned to this examiner.
