// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates all decisions across the examiner's art unit(s) in TC 2100. The allowance rate—68% of decided cases—describes past dispositions only and is not a prediction for any specific application. Pooled figures represent an overall summary; individual cases vary based on claim scope, prior art, and prosecution history. Aggregate statistics describe the record, not the likelihood of allowance in any particular matter.

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 →
