// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record combines examination data across multiple art units, yielding an aggregate allowance rate that describes past outcomes rather than predictions about any individual application. The 65% figure reflects all decided cases across the examiner's assigned art units in TC 2100. Aggregate statistics do not predict the outcome of any specific application and do not account for variations in art unit, applicant strategy, or claim scope.

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 Augustine Kunle Obisesan 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.

Figures are rounded for display. Pooled sample: 850 applications.
