// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates examination activity across one art unit in TC 2100. The allowance rate of 66% describes past dispositions—applications that have been allowed or abandoned—and reflects the examiner's historical record. Pooled figures do not account for variations that may exist within individual art units, nor are they predictions of outcomes for pending or future applications. Aggregate statistics describe what has occurred, not what will occur.

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

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: 313 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.
