// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates results across multiple art units, providing a bird's-eye view of an examiner's historical decisions. The figures describe past dispositions and are not predictions of any specific application's outcome. The allowance rate is computed from decided cases only (allowed plus abandoned), excluding pending applications. Variation across art units is common and reflects differences in subject matter and case complexity.

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 Tadesse Hailu has a public record within Technology Center 2100. 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: 1,361 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.
