Examiner: TSANG, HENRY

Analysis

Examiner Henry Tsang has overseen 475 resolved cases in Art Unit 2495. The examiner maintains an allowance rate of 80.0 percent. A notable data point is the interview lift of 17.1 percent, which indicates that interviews are a productive strategy for advancing applications toward a positive outcome. This 17.1 percent lift suggests that verbal communication can effectively resolve issues that might persist in written prosecution. Practitioners should consider the 80.0 percent allowance rate as a strong baseline for success in Tech Center 3700.

The median time to reach an allowance is 905 days. This duration reflects the typical pendency for successful applications under this examiner's review. Practitioners should use the 905-day median to manage client expectations regarding the timeline for their applications. With 475 resolved cases, the examiner's trends are well-documented. The high allowance rate and the positive impact of interviews are key factors to consider when developing a prosecution strategy. Engaging the examiner directly appears to be a beneficial approach.
