Tech Center 3600 • Art Units: 3661 3663
This examiner grants 45% of resolved cases
Clint V. Pham manages Art Unit 3661 with 76 resolved cases and an allowance rate of 44.7 percent. The median days to allowance is 1163, which is the timeframe automotive companies like Toyota Motor Corporation, Volvo Group, and Kia Corporation can expect for successful outcomes. This moderate allowance rate suggests a thorough examination process in Tech Center 3600 that requires careful attention to detail.
An interview lift of 22.7 percent indicates that direct engagement is an effective strategy for improving the 44.7 percent base allowance rate. This lift suggests that many technical issues can be resolved through discussion rather than repeated written filings. Firms such as DINSMORE & SHOHL LLP, AMIN, TUROCY & WATSON, LLP, and ANDRUS INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW, LLP should consider the 1163-day median as they integrate interviews into their prosecution plans. The data supports the use of verbal advocacy to overcome rejections.
