// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates all applications decided across the examiner's art units, creating a single allowance-rate figure. Aggregate statistics describe historical disposition patterns and are not predictions for individual applications. Different art units within TC 2100 may have different subject matter or application volumes; pooled rates combine those variations into one overall figure. The data reflects what has occurred, not what will occur in any specific prosecution.

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 →

Figures are rounded for display. Pooled sample: 148 applications.

Where this page compares an examiner's allowance rate to an art-unit average, that comparison is a factual description of the public record, not a characterization of any individual examiner's conduct or competence.
