Analysis

WANG, YI-KAI works in tech center 3700 and art unit 1771. The profile reports 488 resolved cases, an allowance rate of 83.8%, and a median of 724 days to allowance. Interview lift is 9.4%, so interviews are associated with a positive but comparatively modest change in allowance outcomes. The reported median provides a clear timing reference for applicants considering prosecution expectations before this examiner.

Alfdex AB is the listed company, and BIRCH STEWART KOLASCH & BIRCH, LLP is the listed firm. The concentrated company and counsel data indicate a narrower visible applicant base than profiles with several listed organizations. Practitioners can still use the allowance and timing measures to calibrate strategy, while treating the limited portfolio information as a reason to focus on application-specific claim analysis.
