// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This record aggregates decisions across multiple art units within TC 2100. The 80% allowance rate describes past dispositions and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Pooled figures mask variations that may exist between individual art units. The allowance rate is calculated from decided applications only—abandoned and allowed cases—and does not include pending applications.

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 →
