How to read these numbers.

A pooled examiner record aggregates all applications and dispositions across assigned art units into a single allowance-rate figure. This aggregate describes past outcomes and is correlational only—it is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Pooled rates mask variation across individual art units and are appropriate for understanding an examiner's overall historical practice, not for forecasting results in any particular technology area or application type.

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 →
