// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates outcomes across all art units assigned to an examiner. The figures—allowance rate, disposed applications, and allowed count—describe the historical record and do not predict the outcome of any specific application. The 13% allowance rate reflects past decisions on 8 closed applications and is correlational only, not predictive of future examination outcomes.

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 →

Statistics are computed from publicly available USPTO records, refreshed on a recurring schedule. This page's data was last updated June 25, 2026.

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.
