What the data says.reading this examiner

Jean Wicel Desir maintains a public record in Technology Center 2400 spanning 1 art unit. Across hundreds of decided applications, the allowance rate stands at 78%, representing the share of applications that issued as allowed among all decided (allowed and abandoned) applications in the pooled record. This figure reflects outcomes in applications already concluded and does not constitute a prediction for any pending or future application. The record aggregates dispositions across the examiner's assigned art units.

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates data across all art units assigned to an examiner. The allowance rate shown here is a historical average computed from decided applications already closed. Because the record combines multiple art units, it reflects an overall pattern rather than performance in any single art unit or technology area. Aggregate figures describe past outcomes and are not predictions about the disposition of any specific application or cohort.

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 →

  • What does the 78% allowance rate mean?
    Of all applications decided by this examiner (whether allowed or abandoned), 78% were allowed. The figure excludes pending applications and reflects only concluded cases. It describes the past record and is not a basis for predicting any individual application's outcome.

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Jean Wicel Desir 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: 497 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.
