What the data says.reading this examiner

Jason D Cardone's public record spans one art unit within Technology Center 2400. Across dozens of decided applications, his allowance rate is 90%. This figure represents the percentage of applications in his decided pool (allowed and abandoned combined, excluding pending cases) that issued as allowed. The 90% rate is pooled across all art units in his record. This statistic describes his historical record and does not constitute a prediction about any specific application.

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates data across all art units assigned to this examiner. The allowance rate reflects past outcomes across decided applications and describes the examiner's historical record only. Aggregate statistics do not predict outcomes on individual applications, which may depend on claim scope, prior art, specification, and other case-specific factors. The pooled figure is a descriptive snapshot, not a forecast.

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 →

  • How many art units does this examiner cover?
    One art unit. This examiner's record is drawn from a single art unit within Technology Center 2400.
  • What does the allowance rate tell me about my application?
    The pooled allowance rate describes past outcomes and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Individual results depend on claim language, prior art, written description, and other application-specific factors.
  • Why does the record pool multiple art units?
    This page presents the examiner's aggregate record across all assigned art units. Detailed per-art-unit statistics are available in a separate section.

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Jason D Cardone 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: 102 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.
