This examiner grants 61% of resolved cases
Sarah A Long has resolved 790 cases in Tech Center 3700 and Art Unit 3731. The examiner's allowance rate is 60.6 percent, and the median days to allowance is 1543. These figures provide a benchmark for expected outcomes and pendency. The 1543-day figure is a metric for practitioners to use when managing prosecution timelines. The 60.6 percent rate indicates the likelihood of an application being allowed once it reaches a final resolution.
The interview lift of 42.6 percent indicates that interviews are associated with an increase in the probability of allowance relative to the 60.6 percent baseline. This lift suggests that direct engagement can be a factor in securing an allowance. Practitioners should consider the 42.6 percent lift when managing the 1543-day median pendency. The 790 resolved cases provide the statistical foundation for these metrics. These figures offer a clear view of the prosecution landscape for this examiner.
