What the data says.reading this examiner

Gary Addison Eldo Miller maintains a public record in Technology Center 2400 across a single art unit. His pooled allowance rate stands at 70% of decided applications across a small number of decided applications. This figure represents the share of applications that have been allowed among all applications that have reached a final decision—either allowed or abandoned—in his record. The 70% rate reflects his historical disposition on applications that proceeded to completion in this technology center.

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates data across all art units in which the examiner has decided applications. The allowance rate of 70% describes his past record only and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Aggregate statistics reflect historical patterns across multiple art units and application types and do not indicate how any individual application will be examined or decided.

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 Gary Addison Eldo Miller 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: 51 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.
