What the data says.reading this examiner

Kerri M Rose maintains a public record in Technology Center 2400 across 2 art units. The pooled allowance rate stands at 86% of decided applications (allowed and abandoned, excluding pending cases). This aggregate figure is derived from hundreds of decided applications across the examiner's art units. The allowance rate ranges from 66% to 88% across these art units, reflecting variation in the disposition patterns within each unit's decided application set.

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates applications across multiple art units within TC 2400, combining different subject-matter specialties into a single overall figure. The 86% allowance rate describes the historical share of decided applications that were allowed, not a prediction for any specific case. The range of 66% to 88% shows that individual art units vary; pooled rates summarize past outcomes and do not forecast results in any particular application.

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 Kerri M Rose 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: 554 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.
