// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This record aggregates all applications handled by the examiner across their assigned art units in TC 2100. The pooled allowance rate of 80% describes historical dispositions and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Aggregate statistics reflect past examination activity across potentially diverse art-unit classifications and do not indicate how any individual case will be examined or decided.

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 →

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Umut Onat has a public record within Technology Center 2100. Statistics are computed from publicly available USPTO records, refreshed on a recurring schedule. This page's data was last updated June 25, 2026. The overall allowance rate is total allowed divided by total decided applications (allowed plus abandoned) across all art units — not an average of the per-art-unit rates; pending applications are excluded. Figures are rounded for display. Pooled sample: 592 applications.
