// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates three art units and presents an overall allowance rate across all disposed applications. The aggregate figures describe the examiner's past record and are not predictions of any specific application's outcome. The range of 77% to 81% shows that allowance rates vary by art unit; individual art-unit records are reported separately and may differ from the pooled figure.

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 →

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Luis A Sitiriche has a public record within Technology Center 2100. Statistics are computed from publicly available USPTO records, refreshed on a recurring schedule. This page's data was last updated June 25, 2026. The overall allowance rate is total allowed divided by total decided applications (allowed plus abandoned) across all art units — not an average of the per-art-unit rates; pending applications are excluded. Figures are rounded for display. Pooled sample: 543 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.
