How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates data across all art units in which the examiner is active. The 85% allowance rate is computed from allowed and abandoned applications only—pending cases are excluded. Aggregate figures describe the historical record and are not predictions of outcomes on specific applications. Applicants review pooled records to understand an examiner's past disposition patterns, which vary by application, prior art, and claim scope.
