How to read these numbers.

This record aggregates all art units under the examiner's purview and presents pooled statistics from past dispositions. The allowance rate reflects the share of decided cases (allowed plus abandoned) that resulted in allowance. These figures describe the examiner's historical record and are not predictive of outcomes in any specific pending application. Pooled data masks variation across individual art units.

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 Diedra M Mcquitery 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: 474 applications.

Where this page compares an examiner's allowance rate to an art-unit average, that comparison is a factual description of the public record, not a characterization of any individual examiner's conduct or competence.
