// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates all decisions across an examiner's art units into a single allowance rate. This figure describes what has occurred in the past and is not a prediction of the outcome of any specific application. Aggregate statistics apply to a group of decided cases and do not forecast individual prosecution results. The allowance rate reflects historical disposal patterns, not future performance on any particular filing.

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 →
