// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates data from all art units an examiner works in, presenting an overall allowance rate and application volume. The 83% figure describes past disposed applications and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Pooled rates mask variation across individual art units and do not account for differences in application complexity, amendment history, or claim scope. Review of the examiner's individual art-unit records provides more granular data.

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 →
