This examiner grants 83% of resolved cases
Examiner Tung S Lau has a volume of experience with 1144 resolved cases in Tech Center 3600 and Art Unit 1686. His allowance rate of 83.0% suggests a favorable environment for applicants seeking patent protection. The median days to allowance for these cases is 1044, which is consistent with efficient processing of a large docket. The volume of 1144 resolved cases indicates a deep familiarity with the subject matter and procedural requirements of the office. This experience can lead to a more predictable prosecution path.
While the 83.0% allowance rate is already strong, the interview lift of 14.5% indicates that interviews still provide a meaningful benefit. Practitioners working through his history can expect a median timeline of 1044 days. The 14.5% lift suggests that even in a high-allowance environment, direct dialogue helps clarify technical issues and expedite the grant process. This examiner appears to favor a collaborative approach, where the grant rate can be reached more smoothly through the 14.5% lift provided by interviews. Planning for a 1044-day pendency allows for realistic budgeting and strategy development across the 1144 resolved cases.
