// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This profile aggregates the examiner's record across all art units under their jurisdiction. The allowance rate and disposal counts reflect decided applications from the past and describe what has occurred, not what will occur in any individual case. Pooled figures combine different art units and represent overall historical outcomes. These statistics are correlational snapshots of past dispositions and are not predictions for specific applications currently pending or filed.

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

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Zaida Marrero 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.

Figures are rounded for display. Pooled sample: 109 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.
