How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates results from multiple art units into a single allowance-rate figure. That figure describes the examiner's historical decisions across all assigned units combined and reflects the mix of work across those units. Pooled figures are correlational summaries of past dispositions, not predictive of outcomes in any individual application. The range shown reflects differences in allowance rates among the examiner's individual art units.

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 →
