This examiner grants 91% of resolved cases

Analysis

Nam D Pham operates in Tech Center 2600 and Art Unit 2482, where the examiner has resolved 564 cases. The allowance rate is 91.0 percent, which is exceptionally high and suggests a very efficient path to patent issuance. This 91.0 percent rate indicates that nine out of ten applications reach a grant. The 564 resolved cases provide a solid dataset for understanding the examiner's favorable approach to prosecution. Practitioners can expect a high degree of success in this docket.

The interview lift is 1.7 percent, which is a minimal increase in the probability of allowance. Because the baseline allowance rate is already 91.0 percent, there is very little room for an interview to further improve the odds. The median days to allowance is 717, indicating a fast-paced prosecution environment. Practitioners can expect a high degree of success through standard written responses within this 717-day median timeframe. The combination of a 91.0 percent allowance rate and a 717-day median pendency makes this one of the more efficient dockets for applicants.
