// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates data from multiple art units within TC 2100. The 84% allowance rate describes the examiner's historical record across decided applications and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Figures in a pooled record reflect past decisions and do not forecast results in individual cases, which depend on claim scope, prior art, and examination history.

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 →
