// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This examiner's pooled record aggregates statistics from all art units in which he has worked. The allowance rate and application counts reflect cumulative, past-decided cases and describe historical performance only. Pooled figures do not forecast results in individual applications or predict how any given case will be examined or decided. Each application is evaluated on its own merits.

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 →

Statistics are computed from publicly available USPTO records, refreshed on a recurring schedule. This page's data was last updated June 25, 2026.

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.
