// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates all art units under this examiner's assignment. The allowance rate represents the percentage of decided applications (allowed and abandoned combined) and is calculated from the disposed-application count, excluding pending matters. Pooled figures describe past examination outcomes across different subject areas and are correlational only—they are not predictions about how any future application will be examined or decided.

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 Maria De Jesus Rivera 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: 58 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.
