Across 305 disposed applications, 226 were allowed and 79 were abandoned, yielding a 74% allowance rate. This rate reflects the proportion of decided applications in the examiner's pooled record. The data covers all applications adjudicated across the examiner's assigned art units and does not account for pending matters.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates outcomes across all art units assigned to the examiner. The 74% allowance rate describes the historical outcome of decided applications and is correlational data—a snapshot of past dispositions. Aggregate figures do not predict the outcome of any individual application. Patent prosecution involves many case-specific variables beyond examiner statistics. Applicants may consult this record as background context 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 →

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Robert A Cassity 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: 305 applications.
