// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates all applications and dispositions across an examiner's assigned art units, smoothing variations that may exist within individual units. The allowance rate reflects the share of allowed applications among all decided cases (allowed plus abandoned), excluding any pending matters. Aggregate figures describe historical output and do not predict the outcome of any specific application or indicate how any particular case will be examined.

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 →
