Analysis

Hang Lin serves in Tech Center 2800 and Art Unit 2626. The examiner has 470 resolved cases. The allowance rate for these cases is 66.0 percent. This rate provides a baseline for the probability of obtaining a patent grant. The 470 resolved cases offer a solid foundation for understanding the examiner's prosecution style.

The median days to allowance is 916. This figure represents the typical timeframe for applications that are successfully granted. The interview lift is 2.1 percent.
