How to read these numbers.

This record aggregates outcomes across all art units to which the examiner is assigned. An allowance rate is calculated from decided applications (allowed plus abandoned), excluding pending filings. Pooled figures describe the examiner's aggregate past record and are correlational—they characterize what has occurred, not what will occur in any specific case. Art-unit data, where available separately, may show variation within the pooled total.

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 →
