// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This record aggregates the examiner's dispositions across multiple art units within TC 2100. The allowance rate is a backward-looking statistic calculated from all decided applications in the pool. Aggregate figures describe past activity and do not forecast the result of any individual application. Art-unit-specific records appear separately on this page.

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 →

// BY ART UNIT

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Alp Onat has a public record within Technology Center 2100. Statistics are computed from publicly available USPTO records, refreshed on a recurring schedule. This page's data was last updated June 25, 2026. The overall allowance rate is total allowed divided by total decided applications (allowed plus abandoned) across all art units — not an average of the per-art-unit rates; pending applications are excluded. Figures are rounded for display. Pooled sample: 38 applications.

Lynch LLP is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Examiner statistics are derived from publicly available USPTO data.

These statistics describe past examiner behavior and do not predict the outcome of any particular application. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Where this page compares an examiner's allowance rate to an art-unit average, that comparison is a factual description of the public record, not a characterization of any individual examiner's conduct or competence.
