This examiner grants 23% of resolved cases

Analysis

Emily Huynh examines applications in Tech Center 3600 and Art Unit 2674. The examiner has 157 resolved cases with a low allowance rate of 22.9 percent. This suggests a very rigorous examination process where only a small portion of cases results in a grant. The median days to allowance is 1272, indicating a long and difficult path to obtaining a patent.

Despite the low baseline, the interview lift is a significant 44.9 percent. This metric is vital for practitioners, as it shows that interviews are a highly effective way to overcome rejections that might otherwise lead to abandonment. For the 157 cases resolved, an interview appears to be the most successful strategy for improving the 22.9 percent allowance rate. Direct communication is essential in this art unit.

Top companies include Canon Inc., Rad AI Inc., and Regard Technologies Inc. Firms such as Caldwell LLC and Schox PC are among those navigating this challenging docket. Given the 44.9 percent interview lift, these firms should strongly consider scheduling interviews early in the 1272 days of median pendency to improve their chances of success.
