// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates all art units under the examiner's assignment. The 81% allowance rate is calculated from disposed applications only—allowed plus abandoned—and excludes pending cases. Aggregate figures describe the examiner's past record across multiple art units and are not predictions of outcomes for any specific application under review. Individual art-unit performance may vary.

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 →
