Examiner: PHAM, MICHAEL

Analysis

Michael Pham has handled 595 resolved cases in Art Unit 2153 of Tech Center 2100. The examiner's allowance rate is 80.0 percent, which is a high benchmark for the computer science and software fields. This 80.0 percent rate indicates that four out of five applications reach a successful conclusion. The 595 resolved cases suggest an established and predictable approach to examination. Practitioners should factor this high probability of success into their prosecution strategy.

The interview lift is 22.0 percent, showing that interviews are highly effective at moving cases toward a grant. This 22.0 percent lift is particularly valuable for resolving complex technical rejections. The median days to allowance is 1167, reflecting the typical pendency associated with this technology center. Practitioners should view the interview as a primary strategy for maintaining the 80.0 percent success rate while navigating the 1167-day median timeline. The data suggests that direct engagement with the examiner is a productive way to expedite the path to allowance.
