// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates multiple art units into a single allowance-rate figure. The 40% rate is calculated from decided applications only and represents past dispositions. Pooled statistics describe an examiner's aggregate output and are not predictions of how any specific application will be examined or decided. Individual art units may have different rates; per-unit detail appears separately on this profile.

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 Gary Mac 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.
