// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This record aggregates data across multiple art units within TC 2100. The pooled allowance rate of 80% describes the examiner's historical record on decided applications and is not a prediction for any specific application. Aggregate figures mask individual art-unit variation; the range (60% to 87%) reflects that record within different technical areas. Historical statistics describe the past and do not forecast outcomes in any pending or future prosecution.

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 →
