Over 759 disposed applications, 491 were allowed and 268 abandoned, for an allowance rate of 65%. This rate represents the share of decided applications in the examiner's pooled record. The pooled figure aggregates activity across both art units and describes the examiner's historical record without indication of outcome in any individual case.

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record combines data from multiple art units into a single aggregate. The allowance rate—here 65% across 759 decided applications—reflects past decisions across all assigned art units together. This aggregate describes historical performance and is not a prediction of allowance or abandonment in any specific application. Individual art-unit records may show variation.

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 →
