Emmanuel S. Luk is an examiner in Art Unit 1741 of Tech Center 3700. Based on 1051 resolved cases, the examiner maintains an allowance rate of 71.5 percent. This rate indicates a favorable environment for patent applicants, with more than seven out of ten cases reaching a grant. Practitioners can use the 71.5 percent figure to benchmark the likelihood of success for applications assigned to this examiner.
The interview lift is 26.3 percent. This data point shows that interviews are a productive tool, significantly increasing the chances of an allowance. Practitioners should utilize the 26.3 percent lift to resolve rejections and move toward a grant, as verbal engagement provides a clear advantage over written responses alone. This lift suggests that the examiner is receptive to direct discussion of technical issues.
The median days to allowance is 1032. This duration reflects the typical time required for prosecution, lasting nearly three years. The combination of a 71.5 percent allowance rate and a 1032-day median provides a predictable path for applications. These metrics allow for effective planning and help in managing client expectations regarding both the outcome and the timing of a patent grant.
