Examiner: STRANSKY, KATRINA MARIE

Analysis

Katrina Marie Stransky works in Tech Center 3700 and Art Unit 3700. She has a high volume of experience with 605 resolved cases. Her allowance rate of 74.2 percent indicates a favorable environment for applicants, as a large majority of the cases she resolves result in a patent grant. This 74.2 percent rate suggests a pragmatic approach to examination and a willingness to find allowable subject matter.

Interviews are a beneficial component of prosecution with Stransky, as evidenced by her 24.5 percent interview lift. This metric shows that direct dialogue with the examiner can effectively resolve outstanding issues and move a case toward allowance. For practitioners, this 24.5 percent lift justifies the time and expense of preparing for and conducting an interview to clarify technical points or claim interpretations.

The median days to allowance for Stransky is 1148. This timeline is relatively efficient compared to many other examiners with similar caseloads. Applicants can expect a grant in an expected timeframe if their application is successful. The combination of the high allowance rate and the 1148-day median pendency makes her docket a relatively predictable and productive environment for patent prosecution.
