// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This record aggregates all applications across the examiner's art unit(s) in TC 2100. The 66% allowance rate describes the proportion of decided applications that resulted in allowance over the historical period of record. Pooled figures represent past outcomes and are not predictive of any specific application's fate. Individual art-unit records may show different rates and are available separately.

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 →
