Examiner: STERLING, AMY JO

Analysis

Amy Jo Sterling is a high-volume examiner in Art Unit 3618 of Tech Center 4100, with 1712 resolved cases. The examiner maintains an allowance rate of 76.6%, which is a favorable baseline for applicants. This 76.6% rate indicates a high level of success for applications reaching a final disposition. The median days to allowance is 783.

The interview lift is 10.5%, providing a modest increase over the 76.6% baseline. While the lift is positive, the high initial allowance rate suggests that many of the 1712 cases proceed to grant through standard written prosecution. However, an interview can still be a useful tool for resolving specific issues within the 783 day median pendency.

The 783 day timeline is a key efficiency metric for this examiner. Combined with the 76.6% allowance rate, it suggests a relatively fast and successful path to grant. Practitioners can use the 10.5% lift and the 1712 resolved cases to develop a predictable strategy for navigating prosecution in Tech Center 4100.
