What the data says.reading this examiner

Carlos Manuel De Jesus Lassala maintains a public record in Technology Center 2400 spanning one art unit. Across hundreds of decided applications, his allowance rate is 76%. This figure represents the share of applications in the decided population (allowed and abandoned combined) within his pooled record. The 76% allowance rate reflects the proportion of his decided caseload that resulted in allowance rather than abandonment. This statistic describes his historical record and does not project outcomes for any particular application.

How to read these numbers.

This examiner's record aggregates decisions across one art unit within TC 2400. The pooled allowance rate of 76% is a historical summary combining all decided applications in that unit. Aggregate figures describe past performance across a body of applications and are not predictions about any individual case. Different applications present distinct issues and claims; historical aggregate rates do not forecast the disposition of a specific matter.

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 →

  • What does the 76% allowance rate mean for my application?

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Carlos Manuel De Jesus Lassala has a public record within Technology Center 2400. Statistics are computed from publicly available USPTO records, refreshed on a recurring schedule. This page's data was last updated July 22, 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: 196 applications.

Rejection rates. Each §-rate is the share of this examiner's applications that drew at least one office-action rejection in which that statutory ground appears; applications with no rejection on record are excluded, and because grounds can co-occur the four do not sum to 100%. The art-unit figure beside each is the unweighted mean of the per-examiner rates across the art unit, published for §101 and §103 only. Beside the overall allowance rate we show a benchmark: for a single-art-unit examiner it is exactly that art unit's average, labeled “art-unit average”; for an examiner spanning several art units it is the “weighted peer average” — the per-art-unit averages, weighted by this examiner's application count in each — labeled distinctly because it is a blended figure, not any single art unit's average. Both are built from the same per-art-unit averages the panels show.
