How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates all applications decided across the examiner's art units into a single allowance-rate figure. The 65% rate describes historical outcomes on disposed applications and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Allowance rates measure past prosecution results; they do not indicate how any individual application will be examined or decided. Review of the public record provides context only and cannot forecast results in any particular 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 →
