This pooled figure represents the examiner's aggregate history across that unit and does not predict outcomes in any individual application.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This record aggregates dispositions across one art unit in TC 2100. Pooled statistics describe the examiner's past record and reflect the mix of applications examined within that unit. An aggregate allowance rate is a historical summary, not a forecast for any specific application. Applicants may also review per-art-unit records, where available, to see breakdowns by narrower subject matter.

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.

Figures are rounded for display. Pooled sample: 260 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.
