// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates data across one art unit and reflects historical dispositions only. The 89% allowance rate describes what occurred in past applications and is not a prediction of outcome for any specific pending case. Aggregate statistics represent patterns across many applications and do not determine the result of an individual filing. The figures serve as a factual reference to the examiner's public record.

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 →
