// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates all applications decided within the examiner's assigned art unit(s). The allowance rate and application counts reflect cumulative historical data. Aggregate figures describe what has occurred, not what will occur in any individual case. Each application is unique; past statistics do not predict the outcome of a specific filing or govern how any future 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 →

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Monica M Pyo 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: 722 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.
