How to read these numbers.

This profile presents pooled statistics across all art units handled by this examiner. Aggregate figures describe the examiner's past record and provide context for understanding disposition patterns. The allowance rate is calculated from decided applications only (allowed plus abandoned), excluding pending cases. Pooled data combines different art units and does not forecast results in individual applications or predict how any particular case will be examined.
