Examiner: PHAN, HUY Q

Analysis

Huy Q Phan has overseen 169 resolved cases in Tech Center 2800 and Art Unit 2617. The allowance rate is 55.6 percent, which is a more conservative rate compared to many peers in the same tech center. This 55.6 percent rate indicates that approximately half of the applications reach a successful conclusion. The 169 resolved cases provide a sufficient dataset for understanding the examiner's typical approach to prosecution. Practitioners should prepare for a rigorous examination process that may require detailed technical arguments.

The interview lift is 33.6 percent, showing that interviews are exceptionally effective for this examiner. This 33.6 percent lift suggests that many rejections can be resolved through verbal discussion, potentially saving time in the 1333-day median pendency. The median days to allowance is 1333, indicating a very long prosecution cycle for those applications that reach a grant. Practitioners should prioritize interviews to improve the 55.6 percent baseline allowance rate. The data suggests that direct engagement is a critical factor in achieving a successful outcome in this docket.
