// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates data across all art units where the examiner works. The allowance rate of 55% describes what portion of decided applications received allowances historically and is calculated from disposed applications only—pending cases are excluded. Aggregate figures describe the past record and are not predictions about any specific application's outcome. Individual art-unit records, where available, may show variation from the pooled rate.

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 →
