Examiner: LEE, AIDEN Y

Analysis

Aiden Y. Lee is an examiner in Art Unit 1713, which is part of Tech Center 2800. He has 492 resolved cases, offering a solid statistical base for evaluating his performance. The allowance rate for this examiner is 47.8 percent, which indicates a more challenging environment for patent applicants. However, the interview lift is 25.3 percent, suggesting that direct engagement with the examiner is a highly effective way to move an application toward allowance. This 25.3 percent lift is a significant incentive for practitioners to schedule interviews.

The median time to allowance is 1286 days, which is a relatively long prosecution cycle of over three and a half years. This 1286-day timeline, combined with the 47.8 percent allowance rate, highlights the difficulties of working in Art Unit 1713. However, the 25.3 percent interview lift provides a clear path to improving those odds. With 492 resolved cases, the data reflects a consistent examination style where communication is key. Practitioners should use the lift to resolve any outstanding issues and potentially shorten the long delays indicated by the 1286-day median pendency. The data from Tech Center 2800 suggests that the interview is a critical tool for success. The 1286-day median pendency remains the primary benchmark for expected prosecution length.
