Over 174 decided applications, his allowance rate is 61%, with 106 allowed and 68 abandoned. The allowance rate ranges from 57% to 74% across his art units.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates data from multiple art units into one overall figure. The 61% allowance rate describes past decisions across all art units combined and does not predict the outcome of any specific application. The range (57% to 74%) shows variation among the individual art units but does not indicate which applications fall into which rate. Pooled statistics are historical summaries, not forecasts.

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 Matthew R Chrzanowski 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.

Figures are rounded for display. Pooled sample: 174 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.
