// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates data across multiple art units, masking unit-specific variation. The overall allowance rate—56% here—is a historical summary across all units combined and is not a prediction for any particular application. The range (54% to 66%) shows that outcomes differ by art unit. Pooled figures describe past patterns; individual applications proceed under their own examination circumstances.

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 →

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Amy M Levy 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: 465 applications.
