// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates data across multiple art units, masking any variation in allowance rates within individual units. The 43% figure describes the examiner's past record across all decided applications in these art units and is not a prediction of the outcome of any specific application. Pooled statistics are correlational summaries of historical decisions and do not indicate how any future application will be examined or decided.

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 Benjamin R Bruckart 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: 58 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.
