// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates data across all art units where an examiner works, presenting an overall allowance rate derived from all decided applications in those units combined. This aggregate figure describes past examination outcomes and is not a prediction of how any specific application will be handled. Different art units may reflect different applicant behavior, claim complexity, or filing patterns. Aggregate statistics do not isolate performance in any single art unit or technology area.

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 →

Statistics are computed from publicly available USPTO records, refreshed on a recurring schedule. This page's data was last updated June 25, 2026. The overall allowance rate is total allowed divided by total decided applications (allowed plus abandoned) across all art units — not an average of the per-art-unit rates; pending applications are excluded. Figures are rounded for display. Pooled sample: 109 applications.
