Examiner: WAI, ERIC CHARLES

Tech Center 2100 • Art Units: 2195

This examiner grants 82% of resolved cases

Analysis

Eric Charles Wai has overseen 659 resolved cases in Art Unit 2195, which is part of Tech Center 2100. The examiner demonstrates an allowance rate of 82.1 percent, reflecting a generally favorable environment for patent grants. This 82.1 percent rate suggests that the examiner is open to finding allowable subject matter in the majority of cases assigned to their docket.

The data shows a median days to allowance of 1354, indicating a longer timeline for reaching a final resolution compared to other units. This 1354 day median means that applicants must be prepared for a multi-year prosecution process. Strategic planning should account for this extended duration when filing in Art Unit 2195 to ensure that patent terms and business goals remain aligned.

The interview lift of 27.3 percent is substantial, suggesting that verbal communication is a highly effective strategy for overcoming prosecution hurdles. With a 27.3 percent increase in the likelihood of grant following an interview, practitioners should consider this a primary tool for navigating the 1354 day median and securing an allowance. Direct engagement appears to be a critical factor in resolving examiner concerns efficiently.
