What the data says.reading this examiner

Mishawn N Hunter maintains an allowance rate of 84% across more than a thousand decided applications in Technology Center 2400. The examiner's record spans a single art unit. The allowance rate reflects the share of decided applications (allowed and abandoned) within the examiner's pooled record and does not indicate the outcome of any pending application. This figure is a historical summary of dispositions already issued and does not predict results in any specific case.

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates all of the examiner's decided applications across TC 2400. The allowance rate represents past dispositions and describes the examiner's historical record only. Aggregate figures do not predict the outcome of any particular application, which depends on case-specific facts, claim language, and prosecution history. Pooled data masks variation across art units and individual applications.

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 Mishawn N Hunter 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: 1,099 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.
