// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Examiner Aaron J Lowenberger maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 202 disposed applications, 96 were allowed and 106 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 48%. This rate reflects outcomes on applications that were decided; pending applications are excluded. The examiner's record spans a single art unit, providing a pooled view of examination activity within TC 2100. These figures describe the historical record and do not forecast outcomes on any specific pending application.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates all disposed applications across an examiner's art units into a single allowance-rate figure. This aggregate describes past outcomes, not future ones. The rate—here, 48% allowed of 202 decided applications—reflects historical disposition patterns and is correlational data. It cannot predict the outcome of any individual case or indicate how a specific application will be examined.

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 →
