Analysis

Christine Dang is an examiner in Tech Center 3600, specifically within Art Unit 2193. The examiner has 178 resolved cases, which results in an allowance rate of 50.0 percent. This rate indicates a split between allowed and abandoned cases in the examiner's resolution history. The 178 resolved cases provide a sufficient sample size to identify clear trends in the examiner's prosecution style.

The interview lift is 51.1 percent, which is an exceptionally high figure. This suggests that interviews are a critical tool for practitioners, as they significantly increase the likelihood of success compared to the baseline allowance rate. The median days to allowance is 1469, reflecting the typical time required to secure a patent. Given the 51.1 percent lift, an interview should be considered a standard part of the strategy to improve the 50.0 percent allowance rate. The 1469-day median pendency highlights the importance of efficient communication to move cases toward a final resolution in Art Unit 2193.
