How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates data across multiple art units into a single overall profile. The allowance rate and application counts presented here combine all units under this examiner's jurisdiction. These figures describe the examiner's past record and reflect historical disposition patterns. Pooled data do not predict outcomes in any individual application, nor do they account for variation across different art units or technology areas. Each application is examined on its own merits.

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 →
