Analysis

Lisa Nhung Homza works in Art Unit 2832 within Tech Center 3700. She has a high volume of 794 resolved cases. Her allowance rate of 86.8 percent reflects a consistent pattern of granting patent rights for the applications she examines.

The interview lift for this examiner is 1.3 percent. This low lift suggests that the outcome of an application is largely determined by the written record rather than verbal discussions. Given the high 86.8 percent allowance rate, the marginal utility of an interview appears limited compared to the baseline results.

Efficiency is a hallmark of her docket, with a median days to allowance of 799. This is a relatively fast timeline for the 794 resolved cases. Practitioners can use this 799-day figure to forecast a path to issuance for applications that fall within her 86.8 percent allowance category in Tech Center 3700.
