Analysis

Examiner Maikhanh Nguyen has a track record in Tech Center 2100, specifically within Art Unit 2144, with 727 resolved cases. The allowance rate is 87.2 percent, suggesting that most applications eventually reach a grant. However, the process requires patience, as the median days to allowance is 1197. This timeline indicates that while the examiner is likely to allow a case, the path to that result is often extended over a long period. The 727 resolved cases provide a stable foundation for these statistics.

Interviews appear to be a productive strategy, yielding an interview lift of 29.1 percent. This suggests that direct engagement can significantly facilitate the process compared to the 87.2 percent baseline. The 29.1 percent lift is an indicator that verbal clarification helps resolve outstanding issues more effectively than written responses alone. With 727 resolved cases, these metrics provide a reliable basis for planning prosecution strategy and managing applicant expectations regarding both the 1197-day timeline and the success probability.
