A patent examiner interview is a direct conversation, often by phone or video, between the applicant's attorney and the assigned examiner to discuss and potentially resolve rejections more efficiently than through written responses alone; the EPO offers similar informal consultations and, more formally, oral proceedings. It's a commonly used, often underused, tool for moving a stalled application forward.
