// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates data across all art units where the examiner has worked. The allowance rate of 73% describes past dispositions and is not a prediction applicable to any individual application. Aggregate figures mask variation within art units and do not indicate how any specific claim or technology will be examined. Historical rates describe what occurred, not what will occur in any given case.

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 →
