Examiner: WISE, OLIVIA M.

Analysis

Olivia M. Wise examines cases in Tech Center 3700 and Art Unit 1631, where she has overseen 271 resolved cases. The allowance rate of 33.9 percent suggests a rigorous examination process where applicants must be well-prepared to overcome initial rejections. This rate provides a clear baseline for the difficulty of securing a grant in this docket.

Applicants face a median of 1436 days to reach an allowance. This timeline indicates that prosecution is likely to be a multi-year endeavor for cases that eventually succeed. The duration reflects the complexity of the 271 resolved cases managed by the examiner and the thoroughness of the review process.

The interview lift is 29.9 percent, which is nearly as high as the baseline allowance rate of 33.9 percent. This figure highlights the utility of examiner interviews as a tool for overcoming rejections and moving toward an allowance. Given the 1436-day median pendency, an interview may be a critical intervention to resolve issues and potentially shorten the path to a grant.
