// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This record aggregates all applications across the examiner's art unit(s) within TC 2100. The 81% allowance rate is calculated from decided applications only—pending cases are excluded. Pooled figures describe past dispositions and do not forecast the outcome of any individual application. An aggregate rate reflects the examiner's historical record but does not determine any specific case's result.

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 →
