Analysis

Examiner Thien Dang Nguyen operates within Art Unit 2111 of Tech Center 2100, where they have managed 713 resolved cases. The data shows an allowance rate of 87.4 percent, suggesting a high frequency of successful outcomes for applicants. For those seeking to clarify their applications, the median days to allowance stands at 735. This timeline provides a benchmark for practitioners to set expectations when filing in this unit.

The use of examiner interviews appears to be a productive strategy in this profile. An interview lift of 11.7 percent indicates that engaging directly with the examiner correlates with a higher probability of allowance compared to cases without such interaction. Practitioners should consider this 11.7 percent increase when deciding on prosecution tactics. The 87.4 percent baseline allowance rate already suggests a favorable environment, but the lift suggests that verbal communication can resolve remaining hurdles.

With 713 resolved cases, the examiner's performance metrics are well-established and offer a reliable foundation for strategic planning. The 735-day median to allowance is a key figure for managing client timelines. Overall, the combination of a high allowance rate and a positive interview lift makes this a relatively predictable profile for patent prosecution in Tech Center 2100.
