Analysis

Tho Gia Phan operates in Tech Center 2800 and Art Unit 2821, where the examiner has resolved 1047 cases. The allowance rate is 91.4 percent, which is exceptionally high and suggests a very efficient path to patent issuance. This 91.4 percent rate indicates that nine out of ten applications reach a successful conclusion. The 1047 resolved cases provide a substantial dataset for analyzing the examiner's favorable approach to prosecution. Practitioners can expect a predictable and highly successful environment for their claims.

The interview lift is 4.1 percent, which is a small but positive increase in the probability of allowance. Because the baseline allowance rate is already 91.4 percent, there is little need for an interview to further improve the odds of success. The median days to allowance is 782, reflecting a fast-paced prosecution environment for cases that reach a grant. Practitioners should use this 782-day figure to manage client expectations regarding the duration of the examination. The data indicates that the high probability of success is primarily driven by written advocacy within this efficient timeframe.
