How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates data across multiple art units to show an examiner's overall pattern. Here, one art unit is covered. The allowance rate describes what occurred in the past on decided cases and is not a prediction for any specific application. Aggregate statistics mask variation by individual art unit and do not account for differences in application complexity, claim scope, or prior-art landscapes across different technologies.

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 →
