// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This record aggregates all dispositions across one art unit within TC 2100. Pooled figures describe past decisions over a defined set of applications and are correlational data, not predictive models for individual cases. An allowance rate reflects the ratio of allowed to decided applications in that historical sample. Aggregate statistics do not indicate how any single application will be examined or decided.

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 →
