What the data says.reading this examiner

Jackie Zuniga Abad maintains a pooled allowance rate of 77% across hundreds of decided applications in Technology Center 2400. The examiner's record spans 2 art units. The allowance rate—calculated as a share of decided (allowed and abandoned) applications, excluding pending cases—ranges from 28% to 78% across these art units. This spread reflects variation in allowance outcomes within the examiner's portfolio. The figures presented here represent the examiner's historical record and are not predictions of any specific application's disposition.

How to read these numbers.

This record aggregates data across multiple art units within Technology Center 2400, pooling allowance outcomes to show an overall 77% rate. A pooled figure masks differences among individual art units, which range from 28% to 78% in this case. Pooled statistics describe the past record in aggregate form and are not predictions about any specific application. Individual art-unit records are available separately and may provide more targeted context for particular technologies.

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 Jackie Zuniga Abad 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: 798 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.
