// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This examiner's pooled record aggregates all applications across assigned art units. The 29% allowance rate describes historical dispositions—applications that have concluded—and reflects past outcomes only. Pooled figures combine different art units and represent aggregate data. These statistics characterize what has occurred in closed cases and are not predictions about pending applications or any individual prosecution.

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 →
