A pooled record aggregates an examiner's work across multiple art units, obscuring unit-specific variation. The overall allowance rate (89%) describes past dispositions and is not a prediction for any individual application. The stated range (87% to 95%) shows variability among the examiner's art-unit assignments. These historical figures provide context for an examiner's record but do not indicate how any pending or future application will be handled.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Frantz B Jean 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: 188 applications.

These statistics describe past examiner behavior and do not predict the outcome of any particular application. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. 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.
