// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates decisions across all art units assigned to the examiner. The allowance rate of 87% is calculated from allowed and abandoned applications, excluding pending cases. Aggregate figures describe historical performance and are correlational snapshots of past dispositions. They do not forecast the outcome of any individual application, which depends on claim language, prior art, and examiner analysis specific to that 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 →

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Jonathan D Gibson 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. The overall allowance rate is total allowed divided by total decided applications (allowed plus abandoned) across all art units — not an average of the per-art-unit rates; pending applications are excluded. Figures are rounded for display. Pooled sample: 420 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.
