// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates all applications and dispositions across an examiner's assigned art units into one overall figure. The allowance rate describes the examiner's historical decision pattern—the percentage of decided cases resulting in allowance—and is derived from closed applications only. This aggregate figure is a description of past activity and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome.

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 →
