Analysis

Hien Van Doan examines cases in Tech Center 2400 and Art Unit 2449, with 183 resolved cases on record. The allowance rate of 50.8 percent indicates a more challenging prosecution environment compared to other examiners.

Despite the lower allowance rate, the interview lift is 34.8 percent. This high lift suggests that interviews are a critical strategy for overcoming rejections and reaching the 50.8 percent allowance threshold. For the 183 resolved cases, the data implies that applicants who do not interview may face much lower odds of success than those who do.

The 1548 median days to allowance indicates a lengthy prosecution cycle that requires patience and persistence.

In Tech Center 2400, this examiner's profile highlights the importance of direct engagement to navigate the current approval trends effectively.
