How to read these numbers.

This record is a pool of outcomes across multiple art units within TC 2100. The 72% allowance rate describes decided applications in the examiner's past record and reflects no prediction about any specific pending application. Aggregate figures mask variation across art units and applicant groups. A separate section provides art-unit-specific detail. Pooled data establishes baseline public information only.

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 →
