This examiner grants 85% of resolved cases

Analysis

Harry Y Oh is an examiner in Art Unit 3656 of Tech Center 3600, where he has resolved 709 cases. His allowance rate is 85.2%, showing a strong tendency toward granting patents. The efficiency of his docket is further evidenced by a median of 911 days to allowance for the 709 cases in his portfolio.

Despite the 85.2% baseline, an interview lift of 17.0% is available to practitioners. This increase suggests that even for an examiner with a high grant rate, direct dialogue can resolve remaining issues effectively. Navigating the 911-day timeline with the 17.0% lift makes the interview a recommended tactic.

The 17.0% lift provides a significant advantage for complex applications. Given the 85.2% allowance rate, most applicants will find success, but the interview can expedite the process. This strategy is particularly useful for managing the 911-day median pendency observed in his work.
