// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates data across all art units assigned to the examiner. The allowance rate reflects decided applications (allowed and abandoned combined) and excludes pending filings. Aggregate figures describe the examiner's past record only and are not predictions about any individual case. Patent prosecution outcomes depend on application-specific facts, claim scope, and prior art—not on historical statistics alone.

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 →

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Daniel Calrissian Puentes has a public record within Technology Center 2100. 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: 54 applications.
