Of those disposed applications, 715 were allowed and 268 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 73% over the 983 decided cases.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates results across multiple art units into a single historical profile. The 73% allowance rate reflects past dispositions—both allowances and abandonments—across the examiner's assigned art units and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Aggregate statistics describe the examiner's overall record and do not forecast the result of any individual case or art-unit subset.

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 →
