// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record combines allowance data across three separate art units. The aggregate allowance rate of 52% describes past outcomes across all cases handled in these units together and is not predictive of any individual application's outcome. Individual art units within TC 2100 show different rates; reviewing the per-art-unit breakdown provides context for variation within this examiner's overall record.

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 Jedidiah P Ferrer 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.

Figures are rounded for display. Pooled sample: 259 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.
