// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Adam Joseph Conkey maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). His pooled record spans one art unit and covers 20 disposed applications. Of those 20 decided applications, 15 were allowed and 5 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 75%. This figure represents the proportion of applications with final decisions (allowed or abandoned) and does not include pending applications. The record reflects outcomes across all art units in which the examiner has disposed applications.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates data across all art units where the examiner has disposed applications. The allowance rate of 75% describes the examiner's past record on decided applications and is a historical aggregate only. Pooled figures do not account for differences in application complexity, examiner assignment patterns, or subject-matter variation within the technology center. Aggregate statistics are correlational and do not constitute a prediction about any individual application's outcome.

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 →

// BY ART UNIT

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Adam Joseph Conkey has a public record within Technology Center 2100. Statistics are computed from publicly available USPTO records, refreshed on a recurring schedule. This page's data was last updated June 25, 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: 20 applications.

Lynch LLP is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Examiner statistics are derived from publicly available USPTO data.

These statistics describe past examiner behavior and do not predict the outcome of any particular application. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Where this page compares an examiner's allowance rate to an art-unit average, that comparison is a factual description of the public record, not a characterization of any individual examiner's conduct or competence.
