Analysis

WOO, JONATHAN BRIAN is a USPTO patent examiner in tech center 1700 and art unit 1735. The record includes 79 resolved cases, with an allowance rate of 48.1% and a median of 1178 days to allowance. The interview lift of 47.0% is a strong positive association, but the limited case record calls for caution in generalizing from it.

The principal companies are RTX Corporation, Nike Inc., and Canon Inc. The leading firms are AMPACC Law Group, PLLC, BRAKE HUGHES BELLERMANN LLP, and Dinsmore & Shohl LLP. The data suggest that interviews may be particularly useful when paired with focused claim amendments, although they do not remove the need to prepare for a challenging allowance environment. Counsel should treat the profile as directional rather than conclusive.
