// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates data across all of the examiner's art units and reflects past dispositions. The allowance rate describes the share of decided applications (allowed plus abandoned) in the historical record, and is not a prediction of outcomes in any individual case. Aggregate statistics describe patterns across many applications and do not forecast results for a particular filing.

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 →
