What the data says.reading this examiner

Luna T Weissberger maintains a public record across 2 art units within Technology Center 2400. The examiner's pooled allowance rate is 76% across hundreds of decided applications. This rate reflects the percentage of applications that have been allowed, measured against all decided applications (allowed and abandoned combined). The pooled figure aggregates outcomes across both art units and represents the examiner's historical record to date. This record does not predict outcomes for any specific pending or future application.

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates data across multiple art units, presenting a single overall allowance rate rather than separate rates per art unit. The resulting figure describes the examiner's past decided applications and reflects historical outcomes across different subject areas. This aggregate rate is correlational data about what has occurred, not a predictor of how any individual application will be examined or decided. Pooled figures provide broad context but do not characterize examination of specific claims or technologies.

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 Luna T Weissberger 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: 288 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.
