What the data says.reading this examiner

Shaqueal D Wade-Wright maintains a public record in Technology Center 2400 spanning 1 art unit. Across hundreds of decided applications, the examiner's allowance rate is 84%. This rate represents the percentage of applications that were allowed, relative to all decided applications (allowed and abandoned combined). The allowance rate reflects historical outcomes and is pooled across the examiner's art-unit assignments. This figure describes past dispositions only and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome.

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates performance across multiple art units, presenting an overall allowance rate as a historical summary. The 84% figure describes what occurred in past decided applications and does not predict outcomes in any individual case. Pooled statistics describe the examiner's aggregate practice and do not account for variation by art unit, application complexity, or specific claim characteristics. They are correlational data only.

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 Shaqueal D Wade-Wright 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: 379 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.
