This examiner grants 68% of resolved cases
Thong Q Nguyen has resolved 1221 cases in Art Unit 2872, maintaining an allowance rate of 67.7 percent. This volume of work within Tech Center 2800 establishes a clear pattern of prosecution. The 1221 resolved cases provide a statistically significant foundation for understanding how this examiner evaluates patent applications and applies the relevant statutes.
The median days to allowance is 1049, providing a specific timeline for applicants navigating this unit. This 1049-day figure is an important metric for managing client expectations regarding the duration of the patent acquisition process. It suggests that while grants are common, the path to allowance involves a moderate period of examination and response.
The interview lift of 12.1 percent suggests that personal engagement is a highly effective tool for this examiner. This 12.1 percent increase in allowance probability indicates that interviews can help overcome hurdles in the 67.7 percent baseline allowance rate. Practitioners should consider the 1049-day median when evaluating the potential benefits of early examiner interaction to potentially shorten the prosecution timeline.
