Examiner: LIAN, ESTHER NGUN HLEI MA

Analysis

Esther Ngun Hlei Ma Lian serves in Tech Center 2800 and Art Unit 2847, where she has resolved 33 cases. The data shows a perfect allowance rate of 100.0 percent, meaning every case resolved so far has resulted in a patent grant. This is a rare and highly favorable metric for any applicant assigned to this examiner. The median days to allowance of 825 indicates a relatively fast prosecution cycle, allowing applicants to secure their rights in a timely manner. The 33 resolved cases establish a consistent, if early, track record of success.

The interview lift is recorded at 0.0 percent, which is logical given that the baseline allowance rate is already at its maximum. Since every case is allowed, an interview cannot statistically increase the probability of a grant. With 33 resolved cases, the examiner has established a pattern of finding allowable subject matter without the need for additional verbal negotiation. The 825-day median pendency suggests that the 100.0 percent allowance rate is achieved through an efficient and straightforward examination process. Practitioners can rely on this 100.0 percent rate as they prepare their applications for Art Unit 2847.
