How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates all applications decided by the examiner within their assigned art unit(s). The allowance rate of 94% describes the share of decided applications (allowed or abandoned) in the examiner's past record. Pooled figures describe historical outcomes and are not predictions of any specific application's disposition. Individual art-unit records, where available separately, may show variation within the pooled total.

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 →
