// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This record aggregates all disposed applications across the examiner's assigned art unit(s) in TC 2100. The 54% allowance rate is calculated from decided cases only—pending applications are excluded. A pooled, cross-art-unit record presents historical data; it does not indicate how any individual application will be examined or decided. Aggregate figures describe past outcomes and serve as background context only.

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 →
