A pooled record aggregates an examiner's decisions across multiple art units into a single historical profile. The allowance rate shown here is computed from all decided applications across all assigned art units combined. This aggregate figure describes the examiner's past record and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Per-art-unit records are maintained separately and may vary from the pooled rate.
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. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Anibal Rivera 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: 962 applications.
