How do I use the Detailed Outcomes chart?

The Detailed Outcomes chart is a graphical representation of every application an examiner has reviewed. Attorneys can use this chart to see how other applications with a similar prosecution history have responded to non-final and final rejections and whether they were successful. 

The video below provides a complete walk-through of the Detailed Outcomes chart's features.

Tips for Using the Detailed Outcome Graph

• Remember that you can hover over any section to see the numbers used in our calculations. 

• Clicking in the very center of the graph expands the graph takes you back one step in your prosecution. 

• The trail of "breadcrumbs" at the top of the chart allow you to see the path you followed at a glance.
