How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates data across all art units where the examiner works. The allowance rate and application counts describe historical outcomes and do not constitute a prediction for any specific pending application. Aggregate figures reflect past decisions across potentially varied subject matter and prosecution histories. Individual application outcomes depend on claim scope, prior art, and arguments specific to each case.

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 →
