Analysis

Qiwen NMN Su-Tobon is an examiner in Tech Center 1600 and Art Unit 1600. Her profile shows 6 resolved cases. Her allowance rate of 66.7 percent is relatively high, suggesting a favorable environment for applicants. However, with a small caseload, practitioners should be aware that her long-term statistical trends may still be developing. This 66.7 percent rate indicates that she is open to granting patents when the requirements are met.

The interview lift for Su-Tobon is also 66.7 percent, which is exceptionally high. This suggests that direct communication is a vital and highly effective strategy in her docket. An interview can dramatically increase the probability of an allowance, likely by facilitating a more productive exchange of ideas. Practitioners should consider an interview to be an essential step in their prosecution strategy to leverage this metric.

The median days to allowance for Su-Tobon is 1212. This timeline represents a pendency of an extended period. The combination of the allowance rate and the 1212-day median pendency suggests a relatively standard timeframe for patent prosecution. While the sample size is small, the initial data suggests that active engagement through interviews can lead to a successful outcome within a typical duration.
