// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates all of Tushar S Shah's decided applications across his art unit(s) in TC 2100. An allowance rate of 52% describes past dispositions only and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Because the record spans multiple art units (if applicable), the aggregate figure masks variation within individual units. For detail on a particular art unit, consult that unit's dedicated section.

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 →
