Analysis

Examiner NGUYEN, DAVID Q, working in Art Unit 2617 of Tech Center 2600, has 956 resolved cases. The allowance rate of 90.9 percent is very high, suggesting a receptive approach to patent applications. The median days to allowance is 785, indicating a relatively fast path to issuance.

The high success rate in Tech Center 2600 makes this a favorable environment for applicants. The 4.0 percent lift confirms that verbal negotiation is a helpful, though often unnecessary, tool for securing an allowance.
