// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates outcomes across all art units under an examiner's purview. The allowance rate presented here is a historical measure—the ratio of allowed to decided applications—and does not predict the outcome of any specific application. Different art units may exhibit different characteristics. Aggregate figures describe what occurred in the past and are not forecasts for individual cases.

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 →
