This examiner grants 48% of resolved cases

Analysis

Kyle Hwa-Kai Tseng has resolved 25 cases in Art Unit 2100 of Tech Center 2100. The allowance rate is 48.0%, and the median time to allowance is 1485 days. This reflects a challenging and slow prosecution environment for the 25 cases handled. The 1485-day median pendency is a significant duration for successful applications in this unit.

However, the interview lift of 60.4% is very high, suggesting that an interview is an extremely effective way to improve the 48.0% baseline allowance rate. For the 25 cases resolved, practitioners should prioritize interviews to overcome the 1485-day median pendency. The examiner appears to be highly receptive to arguments made during direct discussions.

The 48.0% allowance rate indicates that fewer than half of the applications are granted without additional intervention. The 60.4% interview lift is the most critical metric for success in Art Unit 2100. For the 25 cases resolved, an interview is the most effective way to navigate the prosecution cycle and achieve a grant in Tech Center 2100.
