// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates outcomes across one art unit within TC 2100. Aggregate allowance rates describe historical performance and are not predictions of outcomes in specific applications. Pooled figures mask variation within and across art units. The data presented here reflects past dispositions and serves as context for understanding the examiner's record, not as a basis for estimating any particular application's path.

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 Joshua P Lottich 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.
