What the data says.reading this examiner

Ryan J Jakovac maintains a public record in Technology Center 2400 spanning one art unit. Across hundreds of decided applications, the allowance rate stands at 67%. This figure represents the share of applications that issued as allowed out of all decided matters (allowed and abandoned combined), excluding pending applications. The pooled record aggregates all work within the examiner's assigned art unit(s) and reflects historical dispositions only.

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates data across all art units assigned to an examiner, presenting an overall allowance rate and breadth of assignment. The aggregate allowance rate describes the examiner's past record and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Individual art units may show different rates; pooled figures show the combined historical pattern but do not determine how any particular application will be examined or decided.

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 Ryan J Jakovac 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: 691 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.
