// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record combines outcomes across multiple art units, masking variation within each unit. The 86% allowance rate describes past dispositions across all assigned art units and is a historical aggregate, not a prediction for any individual application. Detailed breakdowns by art unit are available separately. Aggregate figures describe what occurred; they do not forecast outcomes in specific cases or indicate how any particular application will be examined.

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 →
