His pooled record spans one art unit and covers 426 disposed applications. Of those decided applications, 356 were allowed and 70 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 84%. This figure represents applications that received a final decision—either allowance or abandonment—and excludes pending matters. The record reflects dispositions across the entirety of his assigned art unit within TC 2100.

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates all applications across the examiner's art unit(s) in TC 2100. The allowance rate (84%) and application counts describe his historical disposal pattern and are not a prediction for any individual application. Pooled figures mask variation across different art units if an examiner works in multiple units. A single art-unit assignment, as shown here, means the pooled data and per-unit data are identical. Aggregate statistics describe the past; they do not forecast outcomes on a particular 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 →
