// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This record aggregates the examiner's work across all assigned art units within TC 2100. The allowance rate of 43% describes the examiner's past record over 406 decided applications and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Pooled figures mask variation across individual art units; applicants may review per-art-unit records separately to understand examiner activity in their specific classification.

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 →
