This examiner grants 70% of resolved cases
Quan L Pham has overseen 502 resolved cases in Tech Center 2600 and Art Unit 2637. The examiner's allowance rate is 69.5 percent, which indicates a moderate but generally positive outlook for applicants in the communications arts. This 69.5 percent rate provides a baseline for evaluating the probability of securing a patent. The 502 resolved cases suggest that the examiner has an established and predictable approach to examination. Practitioners should prepare for a balanced prosecution that may require detailed technical arguments.
The interview lift of 28.0 percent is a significant indicator of the value of direct engagement. This 28.0 percent lift suggests that many cases that might otherwise be rejected are successfully resolved through verbal discussion. The median days to allowance is 871, representing a standard timeline for reaching a final grant. Practitioners should strongly consider an interview to bridge the gap between the 69.5 percent baseline and a successful outcome. The combination of these metrics suggests that the 871-day median pendency can be managed effectively through active communication.
