What the data says.reading this examiner

Jason Mitchell Thomas maintains a pooled allowance rate of 52% across hundreds of decided applications in Technology Center 2400. This rate represents the share of his decided applications (allowed and abandoned combined) that resulted in allowance. The examiner's public record spans 1 art unit. The 52% figure is based on applications with final dispositions and does not include pending matters. This pooled record aggregates outcomes across the examiner's art units and reflects historical outcomes only.

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates an examiner's decisions across multiple art units into a single allowance-rate figure. This aggregate describes past outcomes and cannot be interpreted as a prediction for any specific application. Individual art units may have different allowance rates, approval patterns, and case characteristics. The pooled figure provides general context about the examiner's overall record but does not forecast the outcome of any particular case.

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 Jason Mitchell Thomas 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: 193 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.
