Tech Center 3700 • Art Units: 2872 3645 3771
This examiner grants 11% of resolved cases
Wai-Ga David Ho is an examiner in Tech Center 3700 and Art Unit 2872, with 9 resolved cases. His allowance rate is 11.1%, which indicates an extremely challenging examination environment. The median days to allowance is 1257, suggesting that even the few cases that are successful take a long time to reach a grant. While the sample size of 9 resolved cases is small, these figures reflect a very difficult path for applicants and a high standard for patentability.
The interview lift pct of 100.0% is a remarkable statistic, suggesting that every successful case involved an interview. Even with only 9 resolved cases, this 100.0% lift indicates that direct communication is likely the only way to secure an allowance from this examiner. Given the 11.1% allowance rate and 1257 median days to allowance, practitioners should consider an interview to be an absolute necessity. This profile highlights the critical role of oral advocacy when facing such a rigorous examination process in Tech Center 3700.
