// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates the examiner's work across art units in TC 2100. The allowance rate of 69% describes the examiner's historical disposed applications and is not a prediction of the outcome of any specific application. Aggregate figures reflect past decisions across multiple application types and do not forecast prosecution paths, interview outcomes, or individual case results. Each application proceeds on its own facts and claim presentation.

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 →
