Analysis

Alan Wong has overseen 604 resolved cases in Tech Center 2800 and Art Unit 2817. The allowance rate is 83.1 percent, indicating a very high frequency of granted patents. This baseline suggests that the vast majority of applicants will successfully navigate the examination process in this art unit.

The median days to allowance is 1021, showing a relatively streamlined path to grant for successful applications. This timeframe is a key metric for practitioners managing portfolios and helps in setting realistic expectations for the 604 resolved cases handled by this examiner. The efficiency of the process is a notable feature of this docket.

An interview lift of 8.9 percent is observed, which is modest compared to the 83.1 percent baseline allowance rate. While interviews provide some benefit, the high initial rate suggests that many cases proceed to allowance without the need for additional lift. However, the lift still represents a positive contribution for cases that encounter initial difficulties.
