This examiner grants 89% of resolved cases
Zhuo H. Li, working in Tech Center 2100 and Art Unit 2133, has a high volume of 595 resolved cases. The allowance rate of 88.7 percent is exceptionally high, indicating that the vast majority of applications eventually reach a grant. This suggests that the examiner is very open to finding allowable subject matter through the prosecution process. The median days to allowance of 956 shows a relatively efficient path to patent issuance. This 956-day timeline is a reliable metric given the 595 resolved cases.
Interestingly, the interview lift is quite low at 3.6 percent. This suggests that while interviews are not detrimental, they do not provide the same dramatic increase in success seen with other examiners. Given the already high 88.7 percent allowance rate, it appears that written prosecution is often sufficient to reach a favorable outcome. The 595 resolved cases provide a very stable data set, confirming that the 956-day median and the high allowance rate are reliable indicators of the examiner's typical workflow. Practitioners should focus on the 88.7 percent success rate when planning their approach.
