// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates dispositions across all of the examiner's art units. The allowance rate of 63% describes what occurred in past decided cases and is not a prediction about any individual application's outcome. Pooled figures smooth variation across different art units and do not indicate performance on any specific technology or claim type. They serve as a historical reference point only.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 Shambhavi K Patel has a public record within Technology Center 2100.

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: 292 applications.
