Analysis

Michael Hyun Hong examines applications in Art Unit 2425, listed under Tech Center 3700. He has 600 resolved cases. His allowance rate is 74.3 percent, which is a solid benchmark for applicants in this unit.

The median days to allowance is 1170. This duration provides a clear expectation for the length of the prosecution cycle. For the 600 resolved cases, this 1170-day period is the typical time required to reach a successful conclusion in Art Unit 2425.
