// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Albert Decady's public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spans 3 art units: 2112, 2121, and 2133. Across 101 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 60 and abandoned 41, yielding an allowance rate of 59%. This figure represents only decided applications, excluding pending matters. The record reflects activity pooled across multiple art units within TC 2100, aggregating outcomes without attribution to any single unit.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates an examiner's decisions across multiple art units. The allowance rate shown here—59% over 101 disposed applications—describes past outcomes across all units combined and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Pooled figures mask variation among individual art units; they serve as a statistical snapshot of the examiner's overall record in the technology center, not a forecast of prosecution.

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 Albert Decady 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: 102 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.
