// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates all applications decided within the art unit(s) listed. The 90% allowance rate reflects the share of allowed applications among all disposed (decided) applications—pending applications are excluded from this calculation. Aggregate historical rates describe the past record and are not predictions about any specific application's outcome. Each case proceeds independently and may differ from the pooled average.

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 →
