How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates dispositions across all art units where the examiner works. The allowance rate (89%) describes the share of decided applications that were allowed, measured against 687 disposed cases. Aggregate figures reflect past record only and are not predictions for individual applications. Different art units may carry different approval patterns; consult detailed per-art-unit data for subject-matter-specific context.

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 Getente A Yimer 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: 730 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.
