Analysis

Don Nguyen Vo serves as an examiner in Art Unit 2611 within Tech Center 2800. The examiner has handled 964 resolved cases. The data indicates an allowance rate of 90.5% for these applications. This 90.5% rate serves as a key metric for practitioners to assess the likelihood of a positive outcome during the examination process. The 964 resolved cases provide a substantial data set for understanding the examiner's historical tendencies.

The median days to allowance for cases assigned to this examiner is 747. This 747-day timeline offers a realistic expectation for the duration of the prosecution cycle from filing to grant. A significant data point is the 0.7% interview lift. This 0.7% lift indicates that the probability of allowance increases very slightly when an interview is conducted. Practitioners should consider the 0.7% lift in the context of the 90.5% base allowance rate, which suggests that the written record is already highly effective. The 747-day median pendency and the 90.5% allowance rate are important factors for strategic planning. Using the 0.7% interview lift may help resolve minor issues, but the written record is the primary path to success.
