What the data says.reading this examiner

Jaycee Imperial maintains a public record in Technology Center 2400 across 1 art unit. The examiner's pooled allowance rate stands at 55% across hundreds of decided applications. This figure represents the percentage of applications that were allowed, measured against all decided applications in the pooled record (allowed and abandoned combined). The pooled record aggregates decisions across the examiner's assigned art units and reflects the historical distribution of allowances and abandonments in the decided application set.

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates statistics across multiple art units into a single profile. The overall allowance rate reflects the historical proportion of allowed applications within the examiner's decided caseload and describes past outcomes only. This aggregate figure is not a prediction of the outcome of any specific application. Individual art units may differ from the pooled rate. Applicants may consult the per-art-unit breakdown for specialized subject matter within TC 2400.

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 Jaycee Imperial 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: 125 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.
