This examiner grants 41% of resolved cases
Sarah Catherine Case is an examiner in Art Unit 1718 and Tech Center 1700. She has resolved 56 cases with an allowance rate of 41.1 percent. This suggests a selective examination process where a portion of the applications result in a grant. The 56 resolved cases provide an initial dataset to understand the examiner's approach to patentability.
The interview lift of 50.8 percent is high. This figure implies that conducting an interview significantly increases the likelihood of allowance compared to the 41.1 percent baseline. Direct engagement is likely an effective strategy for advancing applications here. The 50.8 percent lift suggests that the examiner is receptive to verbal advocacy as a means to resolve outstanding issues.
The median time to allowance is 1169 days. While the allowance rate is 41.1 percent, the high interview lift suggests that the 1169-day timeline might be navigated more successfully through verbal negotiation. Practitioners should use the 50.8 percent lift to improve their chances of a grant within this 1169-day period.
