// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This record aggregates the examiner's performance across all assigned art units in TC 2100. The allowance rate and application counts are pooled figures describing the examiner's past decisions on decided cases. An aggregate rate does not forecast the disposition of any particular application, which depends on claim scope, prior art, and prosecution specifics unique to each case.

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 →
