// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This profile aggregates the examiner's record across all assigned art units into a single allowance rate and disposal count. The 82% figure is a historical average of decided applications and does not predict the outcome of any specific pending application. Pooled data combines different subject areas and prosecution patterns; individual art-unit records may vary. These figures are correlational summaries of past dispositions, not forecasts.

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 →
