Examiner: GLIMM, CARRIE LYNN STOFFEL

Tech Center 1700 • Art Units: 1793

This examiner grants 26% of resolved cases

Analysis

Carrie Lynn Stoffel Glimm operates in Art Unit 1793 of Tech Center 1700 and has resolved 78 cases. The allowance rate is 25.6%, which indicates that three-quarters of applications are abandoned under her review. This challenging environment is compounded by a median days to allowance of 1441, representing a very long prosecution period that requires significant persistence. Practitioners should budget for a timeline exceeding four years when working with the 25.6% baseline.

The interview lift is 14.1%, suggesting that interviews are a helpful tactic to improve the odds of success. While a 14.1% lift is beneficial, it still leaves the overall probability of allowance at a lower level than many other units. Practitioners should use interviews to address the examiner's concerns directly and attempt to shorten the 1441-day timeline. The 78 resolved cases suggest a consistent pattern of rigorous scrutiny that necessitates a well-prepared and proactive prosecution strategy.
