Examiner Adrian L Kennedy has allowed 174 of 217 decided applications (80%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Adrian L Kennedy has a pooled allowance rate of 80% across 217 disposed applications in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). The examiner's record spans two art units. Allowance rates across these art units range from 61% to 82%. The 80% figure represents allowed applications as a percentage of all decided cases (allowed plus abandoned), excluding any pending matters. This pooled rate aggregates the examiner's work across both art units and describes the public record to date.
A pooled record aggregates statistics across multiple art units, producing an overall rate that reflects past dispositions combined. The 80% allowance rate is a historical summary, not a forecast for any specific application. The range (61% to 82%) shows variation among the art units but does not identify which rate applies where. Pooled figures describe what has occurred, not what will occur in any given case.
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 →
Each section benchmarks this examiner against that art unit's average. Figures are this examiner's own public record within the art unit; the overall rate above pools them.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Adrian L Kennedy 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: 217 applications.

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.
