Analysis

Tito Q Pham has handled 535 resolved cases in Art Unit 2419 of Tech Center 2400. The examiner's allowance rate is 72.1 percent, reflecting a generally positive but rigorous examination process in the communications arts. This 72.1 percent rate provides a clear baseline for applicants evaluating their prospects for success. The 535 resolved cases indicate that the examiner has an established and predictable approach to prosecution. Practitioners should prepare for a balanced path to allowance.

The interview lift of 18.9 percent suggests that verbal discussions are a valuable tool for overcoming rejections. This 18.9 percent lift can help mitigate the long 1254-day median pendency by resolving issues more efficiently than through written responses alone. The median days to allowance is 1254, which is a lengthy period that applicants should anticipate when filing in this art unit. Practitioners should consider an interview as a standard part of their strategy to manage this 1254-day timeline. The data supports a strategy that combines detailed written responses with active verbal engagement.
