// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates data across all art units in which the examiner works. The allowance rate and application counts describe the examiner's past record—what has been decided—and are not predictions about the outcome of any specific application. Aggregate figures mask variation across individual art units and over time. They reflect historical dispositions only.

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 →
