This examiner grants 70% of resolved cases
Michelle Jinju Kim serves as a patent examiner in Tech Center 2800, specifically within Art Unit 2688. Throughout her tenure, she has overseen 10 resolved cases. Her current allowance rate stands at 70.0 percent, which provides a baseline for practitioners evaluating the likelihood of a successful outcome. The median days to allowance for applications under her review is 633, reflecting the prosecution cycle for those seeking patent protection in this specific art area.
A critical data point for strategy is the interview lift of 50.0 percent. This metric demonstrates that conducting an interview with the examiner is associated with a higher probability of allowance than the overall 70.0 percent rate. For applicants facing the 633 day median pendency, this 50.0 percent lift suggests that verbal advocacy is an effective mechanism for resolving issues. The 10 resolved cases provide the data for these performance metrics, establishing a profile for the examiner's behavior in Tech Center 2800.
