Analysis

SHAH, JAY B is assigned to Tech Center 3700 and Art Unit 2624, with 406 resolved cases. The allowance rate is 58.4%, and the median time to allowance is 1242 days. The interview lift is 6.0%, showing only a limited association between interviews and improved allowance outcomes in this docket. No art unit allowance or pendency benchmark is available, so the measures are best read as examiner-specific signals.

The principal companies are ViOptix Inc., Koninklijke Philips N.V., and Stryker Corporation. The leading firms are FASKEN MARTINEAU DUMOULIN, LLP (Montreal), Blanchard Horton PLLC, and BROWN RUDNICK LLP. Practitioners should plan for extended prosecution and should not assume that an interview alone will materially change the outcome. Written claim analysis, focused amendments, and early evaluation of commercially important scope remain central to the response strategy.
