Seth Han is an examiner in Art Unit 1613 within Tech Center 3700. The examiner has 182 resolved cases and an allowance rate of 59.3 percent. This baseline provides a clear view of the prosecution landscape for applications in this biotechnology or medical device technology area. The 59.3 percent rate suggests a balanced approach to examination, with a majority of the cases reaching a grant.
The median days to allowance for these cases is 1099. This timeline indicates that successful applications may face a moderate prosecution process. Practitioners should account for the 1099-day duration when advising clients on patent strategy and potential delays. The figure serves as a benchmark for pendency expectations for applications that ultimately reach an allowance in Art Unit 1613.
The data highlights an interview lift of 28.5 percent. This is a significant figure, suggesting that interviews are an effective mechanism for advancing prosecution and securing an allowance. The 28.5 percent lift indicates that a formal discussion with the examiner can improve the 59.3 percent baseline allowance rate. For practitioners, scheduling an interview appears to be a productive tactical decision to move a case toward a positive outcome.
