// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates data across multiple art units into a single set of statistics. The allowance rate and application counts presented here reflect the examiner's combined output across all assigned art units. These figures describe the historical record only and are not predictions about any specific application. Individual art-unit records, where available separately, may show variation within the overall aggregate.

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 Moustafa M Meky has a public record within Technology Center 2100.

The overall allowance rate is total allowed divided by total decided applications (allowed plus abandoned) across all art units — not an average of the per-art-unit rates; pending applications are excluded. Figures are rounded for display. Pooled sample: 277 applications.
