How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates data across multiple art units within TC 2100. The 90% allowance rate represents the share of allowed applications among all decided cases (allowed plus abandoned). Pooled figures describe the examiner's historical record and do not predict the result of any particular application. Per-art-unit detail, where available, appears separately and may differ from the pooled aggregate.

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 →
