Analysis

Jonghwan NMN Baek works in Art Unit 1618 of Tech Center 3700. The examiner has 5 resolved cases and an allowance rate of 60.0 percent. The median days to allowance is 998, which is the timeframe for the limited outcomes recorded. With only 5 resolved cases, these metrics are based on a very small sample of the examiner's work.

The interview lift is 0.0 percent, suggesting that interviews have not yet shown a measurable impact on the 60.0 percent baseline allowance rate. Practitioners should focus on strong written submissions to navigate the 998-day median pendency in Art Unit 1618. The 60.0 percent allowance rate provides a starting point for understanding the examiner's docket, but more resolutions are needed to establish a stable profile. Applicants should monitor how these figures evolve as more cases are resolved in Tech Center 3700. The 998-day timeline is the primary guide for expectations at this stage.
