Analysis

SINGH, HIRDEPAL works in Tech Center 3600 and Art Unit 2611. The profile records 1124 resolved cases, an 86.4% allowance rate, and a 12.4% interview lift. The allowance rate indicates a highly favorable recorded docket, while the interview figure suggests that interviews offer limited incremental effect compared with strong written prosecution. Applicants may prioritize clear claim language, direct responses, and focused amendments, while retaining interviews for discrete issues that require clarification.

The median time to allowance is 871 days. Apple Inc., Qualcomm Incorporated, and Beijing Xiaomi Mobile Software Co., Ltd. are the listed leading companies. The leading firms are Cozen O'Connor - Boulder, CHRISTENSEN O'CONNOR JOHNSON KINDNESS PLLC, and Crowell. Counsel should use the favorable allowance pattern to pursue efficient examination while maintaining careful claim discipline. Timing remains relevant, and each response should advance a concrete resolution rather than add unnecessary complexity.
