Examiner: LEE, DAVINA EN-YIN

Analysis

Davina En-Yin Lee is an examiner in Art Unit 3794, which is part of Tech Center 3700. She has 57 resolved cases, providing a focused view of her examination tendencies. The allowance rate for this examiner is 38.6 percent, which indicates a more challenging environment for patent applicants. However, the interview lift is 14.3 percent, suggesting that direct engagement with the examiner is a productive way to move an application toward allowance. This 14.3 percent lift is a significant incentive for practitioners to schedule interviews.

The median time to allowance is 1425 days, which is a long prosecution cycle of nearly four years. This 1425-day timeline, combined with the 38.6 percent allowance rate, highlights the difficulties of working in Art Unit 3794. However, the 14.3 percent interview lift provides a clear path to improving those odds. With 57 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 1425-day median pendency. The data from Tech Center 3700 suggests that the interview is a critical tool for success. The 1425-day median pendency remains the primary benchmark for expected prosecution length.
