How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates all decisions across an examiner's assigned art units into a single allowance-rate figure. That rate—here 72%—reflects the historical share of allowed applications among all decided cases. The figure describes what occurred in the past and is correlational only. Aggregate statistics do not predict outcomes in individual applications, which depend on claim scope, prior art, and prosecution history.

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 →
