// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates the examiner's decisions across all art units within TC 2100. The allowance rate of 32% describes past dispositions on 25 decided applications and is a historical aggregate, not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Pooled figures smooth individual variations and provide a broad view of the examiner's record. Individual art-unit performance may differ from the pooled aggregate.

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 →
