How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates examination data across the examiner's assigned art unit(s) in TC 2100. The 74% allowance rate describes the historical ratio of allowed to decided applications and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Pooled figures mask variation within individual art units. Past allowance rates are correlational data and do not indicate how any given future application will be examined or decided.

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 →
