// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This profile aggregates Renee D Chavez's record across multiple art units within TC 2100. A pooled allowance rate describes past outcomes across all her work in this technology center and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Individual art units may show different allowance rates; the range (53% to 83%) illustrates that variation. These figures describe the historical record only.

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.
