// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record combines all applications an examiner has decided across every art unit in their portfolio. The allowance rate shown here—50%—is an aggregate historical figure drawn from 172 disposed applications. It describes past outcomes, not predictions for any individual case. Different art units within TC 2100 may have different application volumes, complexity, and outcomes. A pooled allowance rate is useful context for understanding an examiner's overall record but does not forecast the result of any specific application.

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 Asteway T Gattew 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: 172 applications.

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.
