How to read these numbers.

This profile aggregates the examiner's record across one art unit in TC 2100. The overall allowance rate of 50% describes historical outcomes on 135 decided applications and is not a prediction of outcomes in any specific case. Pooled figures mask variation within individual art units, which may be explored separately. Past disposition rates are correlational, not predictive.
