Analysis

LIN, ABBY YEE is assigned to USPTO tech center 3600 and art unit 3657. The record contains 268 resolved cases, a 64.9% allowance rate, a 15.4% interview lift, and a median of 1039 days to allowance.

Tutor Intelligence Inc. is the only listed company, and MORRISON & FOERSTER LLP is the only listed firm. The concentrated representation record offers limited portfolio context. Applicants should therefore emphasize application-specific claim analysis, clear technical explanations, and a focused assessment of whether an interview can resolve the identified issues.
