// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates data across all art units under an examiner's jurisdiction. The allowance rate of 67% describes the examiner's historical record across decided applications and is not a prediction of outcome for any specific application. Applicants review pooled figures to understand an examiner's past patterns; such statistics are correlational summaries of completed cases, not indicators of how any individual application will be examined.

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 →

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.
