// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates Wu's work across a single art unit in TC 2100. The 83% allowance rate reflects past decisions on 338 closed applications and describes historical outcomes only. Aggregate figures do not predict results in any individual application, which depends on claim scope, prior art, examiner assignment, and other case-specific factors. Pooled data provides context for an examiner's overall record but is 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 →

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: 364 applications.

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.
