// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This record pools decisions across all art units assigned to the examiner. The allowance rate is calculated from applications that have been decided (allowed or abandoned), excluding any pending matters. Aggregate figures describe the examiner's past record and are correlational data only—not predictions about any individual application's outcome. Art-unit composition and technology-center context provide background for understanding the record's scope.

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 Gabriella Kanani Shelton 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: 58 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.
