// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates data across multiple art units, producing an overall allowance rate that describes past decisions rather than predicting outcomes on any single application. The range of rates across art units shows variation within the examiner's portfolio. Pooled figures are historical summaries; they do not indicate how any individual application will be handled and do not account for differences in application complexity, claim scope, or prior art among cases.

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 →

// BY ART UNIT

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Wayne P Amsbury has a public record within Technology Center 2100.

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: 128 applications.
