This examiner grants 65% of resolved cases
Scott Luan operates in Art Unit 3700 within Tech Center 3700. Across 655 resolved cases, the examiner has an allowance rate of 65.2 percent. This figure provides a baseline for success for applications in this unit, indicating that nearly two-thirds of cases result in a grant. Practitioners can use the 65.2 percent rate to set realistic expectations for the likelihood of a favorable outcome.
The interview lift is 12.7 percent. This indicates that conducting an interview is a beneficial strategy for overcoming rejections, providing a meaningful increase in the probability of allowance. Practitioners should consider the 12.7 percent lift when deciding how to respond to office actions, as verbal engagement can help clarify technical points and move the case forward more effectively than written responses alone.
The median days to allowance is 1137. This duration represents the typical time required to reach a grant, spanning approximately three years. The 65.2 percent allowance rate and 1137-day median offer a predictable timeline and success rate for applicants. These metrics allow for effective strategic planning and help in communicating the expected prosecution cycle to clients.
