This pooled record combines the examiner's work across 3 art units in TC 2100. The 75% allowance rate describes past decisions on 448 disposed applications and does not predict the outcome of any particular case. The range of 64% to 88% reflects variation among the individual art units; this aggregate figure does not identify which specific rate applies to which art unit. Pooled data serves as general historical context and is not a basis for case strategy or prosecution decisions.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Willy W Huaracha 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: 482 applications.

These statistics describe past examiner behavior and do not predict the outcome of any particular application. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. 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.
