Tech Center 3600 • Art Units: 3661 3669
This examiner grants 73% of resolved cases
Oliver E. Tan has resolved 123 cases in Art Unit 3661. The allowance rate is 73.2 percent, which is a solid rate for applicants. The median days to allowance is 998, providing a clear expectation for the duration of prosecution. This 998-day figure is a key timing metric in Tech Center 3600.
The interview lift of 10.1 percent shows that direct communication is helpful. While the 73.2 percent baseline allowance rate is already favorable, an interview can provide an additional boost. Practitioners should factor both the success rate and the 998-day median into their planning. With 123 cases resolved, the 10.1 percent lift is a reliable indicator of the benefits of verbal engagement. Direct engagement is a recommended strategy.
