// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates data across all art units under an examiner's purview and represents historical dispositions. The allowance rate describes past outcomes on decided applications and is not a prediction for any specific pending application. Individual art-unit records, where available separately, may show variation from pooled figures. Aggregate statistics characterize a historical sample, not a forecast.

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

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: 298 applications.

These statistics describe past examiner behavior and do not predict the outcome of any particular application. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. 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.
