Examiner Aleksandr Kerzhner has allowed 174 of 250 decided applications (70%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Aleksandr Kerzhner maintains a public record across 3 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 250 disposed applications, his pooled allowance rate is 70%, with 174 allowed and 76 abandoned. The allowance rate ranges from 39% to 74% across these art units, reflecting variation in outcomes by subject matter within the technology center. This pooled figure aggregates the examiner's record across multiple art units and describes his historical disposition of applications in this field.
A pooled record combines statistics across multiple art units, creating an aggregate profile rather than unit-specific detail. The overall allowance rate of 70% reflects decided applications (allowed plus abandoned) across all 3 art units over time. This aggregate describes the past record and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Variation across individual art units may reflect differences in subject matter complexity or application volume, visible separately in per-unit records.
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.
Primarily examines information retrieval and database structures.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 66 decided applications with an interview and 152 without.
Primarily examines information retrieval and database structures.
Based on 33 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Aleksandr Kerzhner 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: 252 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.
