What the data says.reading this examiner

Franklin S Andramuno maintains a public record in Technology Center 2400, spanning 1 art unit. Across hundreds of decided applications, the examiner's allowance rate is 70%. This figure represents the percentage of applications that have been allowed, as a share of all decided applications (allowed and abandoned combined). The allowance rate is computed from the examiner's pooled record and describes the past disposition of applications in the record, not a prediction of outcomes in any specific case.

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates the examiner's decisions across all art units under their jurisdiction. The 70% allowance rate describes historical dispositions and is a correlational statistic—it characterizes what has occurred in the past, not what will occur in any future application. Aggregate figures mask variation across individual art units and do not forecast the outcome of a particular application or prosecution.

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 Franklin S Andramuno 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: 432 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.

These statistics describe past examiner behavior and do not predict the outcome of any particular application. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. 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.
