Tech Center 3700 • Art Units: 3753 3781
This examiner grants 59% of resolved cases
Katherine-Ph Minh Pham has resolved 100 cases in Art Unit 3753 within Tech Center 3700. The examiner's allowance rate of 59.0 percent indicates a moderate level of difficulty for applicants in this mechanical engineering docket. This 59.0 percent rate suggests that approximately six out of ten cases reach a grant. The 100 resolved cases provide a sufficient sample to understand the examiner's typical prosecution patterns. Practitioners should prepare for a balanced examination process that may require multiple rounds of response.
The data includes an interview lift of 50.4 percent, which is a very significant figure. This 50.4 percent lift indicates that interviews are exceptionally productive and may be the deciding factor in moving an application toward allowance. The median days to allowance is 1275, suggesting that the path to a grant is often prolonged. Practitioners should prioritize scheduling interviews early in the process to overcome the 1275-day median wait time. The contrast between the 59.0 percent allowance rate and the 50.4 percent interview lift demonstrates that verbal advocacy is a powerful tool in this examiner's docket.
