// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates all applications across an examiner's assigned art units into one profile. The allowance rate reflects historical dispositions—applications already allowed or abandoned—and is calculated as a percentage of decided applications only, excluding pending cases. This aggregate figure describes past outcomes and is not a prediction of how any individual application will be examined or decided.

These are aggregate statistics from this examiner's past public record — not predictions about any specific application. The per-art-unit figures below show how the record varies across art units. Our approach to patent prosecution →
