// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This record aggregates applications across all art units in which the examiner works. The 48% allowance rate is computed from decided applications only—allowed plus abandoned—and excludes any pending cases. Pooled figures describe the examiner's past record across multiple art units and do not function as predictions for any specific application. Individual art-unit data may show different patterns and is available in a separate section.

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 →

Statistics are computed from publicly available USPTO records, refreshed on a recurring schedule. This page's data was last updated June 25, 2026.

Figures are rounded for display. Pooled sample: 130 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.
