This examiner grants 46% of resolved cases
Timothy Tuan Luu serves in Art Unit 3795 within Tech Center 3700. The examiner has 46 resolved cases and an allowance rate of 45.7 percent. This indicates a moderate success rate for applications in this unit, where slightly less than half of the cases result in a grant. Practitioners can use the 45.7 percent figure to help clients understand the competitive nature of securing a patent with this examiner.
The interview lift is 38.1 percent. This high lift suggests that interviews are a critical tool for overcoming rejections and securing an allowance. Practitioners should prioritize direct communication, as the 38.1 percent lift significantly improves the odds of a grant compared to cases without an interview. This metric highlights the substantial impact that verbal engagement has on the prosecution process in Art Unit 3795.
The median days to allowance is 1349. This timeline indicates that the prosecution process typically takes nearly four years. The 45.7 percent allowance rate and 1349-day median offer a baseline for planning and managing expectations. These metrics suggest that while the process is lengthy and the success rate is moderate, utilizing the 38.1 percent interview lift can be a strategic way to improve outcomes.
