// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates all decisions by the examiner across their art unit(s) in TC 2100. The 38% allowance rate describes the ratio of allowed to decided applications in the past and is not a forecast of any specific case. Pooled figures blend decisions from different art units and represent historical data only. Each application's outcome depends on its individual facts, claims, and arguments.

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 →
