How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates dispositions across a single art unit within TC 2100. An examiner's allowance rate is calculated from decided applications (allowed plus abandoned) and reflects past outcomes. Pooled figures do not predict results in any specific application, nor do they isolate the effect of any single prosecution practice. The allowance rate is a historical snapshot, not a forecast.

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 →
