// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record combines Chang's work across multiple art units in TC 2100. The 64% allowance rate describes past dispositions—allowed plus abandoned applications—and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Aggregate figures across art units mask variation within individual units. This cross-unit snapshot reflects overall historical performance and does not forecast results in any particular art unit or case.

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 →
