This examiner grants 62% of resolved cases
Sally Anne Merkling, in Tech Center 1700 and Art Unit 1738, has 505 resolved cases. The allowance rate is 62.4 percent, and the interview lift is 31.6 percent. This 31.6 percent lift is very significant compared to the 62.4 percent baseline. The 62.4 percent allowance rate is a solid baseline, which is greatly enhanced by the 31.6 percent lift, making interviews a highly recommended strategy.
The median time to allowance is 1199 days. Applicants should be prepared for a 1199 day timeline but can use the 31.6 percent interview lift to greatly improve their 62.4 percent chance of success. With 505 resolved cases, the examiner's tendencies are well-defined. Interviews are clearly a key strategy here to navigate the 1199 day pendency. The 31.6 percent lift and 62.4 percent allowance rate provide a clear path forward for practitioners in Art Unit 1738.
