How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates all art units under Examiner Desai's jurisdiction. The 47% allowance rate describes past dispositions across 118 decided applications and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Aggregate figures reflect historical performance and cannot be generalized to individual cases, which depend on claim scope, prior art, and prosecution specifics unique to each application.

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 →
