Over 127 disposed applications, his allowance rate is 51%, with 65 allowed and 62 abandoned.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates outcomes across multiple art units into a single allowance figure. This aggregate rate describes the examiner's historical record and is not a prediction about any specific application. Allowance rate measures decided cases only—allowed plus abandoned—and excludes pending applications. Pooled data masks variation that may exist within individual art units, which are detailed separately elsewhere on this page.

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 →
