Examiner: PHAN, ANNETTE HOANG-ANH

Analysis

Annette Hoang-Anh Phan has resolved 46 cases in Tech Center 2800 and Art Unit 1736. The allowance rate is 71.7 percent, indicating a generally favorable environment for applicants in the chemical and materials arts. This 71.7 percent rate suggests that more than seven out of ten applications reach a successful conclusion. The 46 resolved cases provide a reasonable sample for understanding the examiner's initial prosecution patterns. Practitioners can expect a generally receptive environment for their claims.

The interview lift is 9.8 percent, showing a modest improvement in the probability of allowance following a verbal discussion. This 9.8 percent lift can be a useful tool for navigating the 1199-day median pendency. The median days to allowance is 1199, which suggests a relatively long prosecution timeline for cases that reach a grant. Practitioners should factor this 1199-day period into their strategic planning and client communications. The data indicates that the 71.7 percent allowance rate is a stable baseline that can be further improved through direct engagement with the examiner.
