// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates the examiner's work across all assigned art units and reflects historical outcomes on applications that reached final disposition. The allowance rate describes what occurred in the past across the entire portfolio and is not a prediction of how any specific future application will be examined or decided. Aggregate statistics describe a population of past cases, not the prospects of individual filings.

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 →
