// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates results across all art units assigned to an examiner. The allowance rate shown here—64%—is calculated from all decided applications in that aggregated pool and describes the examiner's historical outcomes. Aggregate figures characterize past dispositions and do not constitute a prediction of how any single application will be examined or decided. Individual art units may show variation not visible in the pooled view.

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 →
