// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates outcomes across all art units under the examiner's jurisdiction. The allowance rate of 67% describes past dispositions as a proportion of all decided applications (allowed and abandoned combined), excluding pending cases. Aggregate historical figures describe the examiner's record and are not predictions of how any individual application will be examined or decided. Different art units may have different characteristics and allowance patterns.

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 →
