This examiner grants 61% of resolved cases
Kevin Guanhua Wen has resolved 183 cases in Tech Center 3700, maintaining an allowance rate of 60.7 percent. The median days to allowance is 1253, which is a significant duration for applicants in Art Unit 1718. This suggests that patience and persistence are required for successful outcomes, as the process typically takes 1253 days. The 60.7 percent allowance rate indicates a moderate level of difficulty during examination.
The interview lift of 38.0 percent is substantial. It indicates that verbal communication is highly effective at improving the 60.7 percent baseline allowance rate. Practitioners should prioritize interviews to navigate the examiner's objections and potentially expedite the prosecution process. The 38.0 percent lift is a key metric for this examiner, suggesting that many rejections can be overcome through direct dialogue. Given the 1253-day median pendency, an early interview could be a key factor in reaching a grant more efficiently. The data across 183 cases shows that while the examiner is thorough, they are also very receptive to the collaborative interview process, making it a vital strategic tool.
