// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates all applications across the examiner's art unit(s) in TC 2100. The allowance rate of 43% describes past dispositions and is a statistical summary of historical outcomes—not a prediction for any particular application. Pooled figures conceal variation between individual art units; a separate report details any per-unit breakdown. Allowance rates are correlational data reflecting decided cases and do not forecast results in future matters.

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 →
