Across 65 disposed applications, she allowed 26 and abandoned 39, for an allowance rate of 40% on decided cases. Her record spans one art unit.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates all of the examiner's art units and all of her decided applications within TC 2100. An allowance rate—the share of allowed cases among all decided cases—describes past outcomes only. Pooled figures across multiple art units smooth individual variation and reflect the examiner's overall record. Such historical data is not a prediction for any individual application or art unit.

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 Paula W Klimach 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. 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: 65 applications.

Lynch LLP is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Examiner statistics are derived from publicly available USPTO data.

These statistics describe past examiner behavior and do not predict the outcome of any particular application. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. 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.
