Analysis

Huma Waseem works in Art Unit 2129 within Tech Center 3600 and has resolved 61 cases. The allowance rate for this examiner is 18.0 percent. This 18.0 percent rate indicates a challenging prosecution environment where the majority of cases do not result in a patent grant. Practitioners should be prepared for a rigorous review process in Art Unit 2129.

The data shows an interview lift of 21.8 percent. For applications handled by this examiner, an interview provides a meaningful increase in the probability of allowance compared to the 18.0 percent baseline. Practitioners should consider the 21.8 percent lift as a reason to engage in early communication to address potential rejections and clarify technical points.
