// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates the examiner's work across all assigned art units. The allowance rate describes the examiner's past decisions on applications that have concluded and is not a prediction about any specific pending application. Aggregate figures across multiple art units reflect overall patterns in the examiner's record and do not indicate performance in any particular art unit or subject-matter area.

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

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.
