Tech Center 1700 • Art Units: 1732 1763
This examiner grants 68% of resolved cases
Andrea Wu serves in Art Unit 1732 of Tech Center 1700. She has 133 resolved cases and an allowance rate of 68.4%. The median time to reach an allowance is 1191 days, reflecting the typical complexity of cases in this tech center. These metrics suggest that while the allowance rate is favorable, the process requires a significant time investment. Practitioners should plan for a prosecution cycle that spans several years.
The interview lift is 20.1%. This figure indicates that interviews are a productive tool for clarifying issues and advancing prosecution toward a grant. Given the 133 resolved cases, the examiner has a moderate level of experience within the unit. The 68.4% allowance rate shows that more than two-thirds of applications are eventually successful. Applicants should utilize the 20.1% interview lift to address technical rejections, as the data shows a clear benefit to direct communication. The 1191 days to allowance remains a key factor for managing applicant expectations regarding pendency.
