Analysis

Jerry Shiuan-Hua Hsu handles cases in Art Unit 2917, part of Tech Center 2900. The examiner has a volume of 715 resolved cases with an allowance rate of 96.2%. This rate shows that nearly all applications in the docket reach issuance.

The examiner maintains a highly consistent path to issuance with very little reliance on procedural interventions like interviews.
