// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates data from all art units an examiner covers. The aggregate figures—allowance rate and application counts—describe the examiner's past performance across that combined portfolio. These figures are historical summaries, not predictions about any specific application. To understand performance in a particular art unit or subject matter, refer to art-unit-level data if available separately.

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: 179 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.
