// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Examiner Aleksey Olshannikov holds a pooled public record across 4 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across hundreds of decided applications, the overall allowance rate is 58%. The allowance rate—the percentage of decided applications (allowed and abandoned combined, excluding pending matters)—varies across the examiner's art units, ranging from 37% to 75%. This range reflects differences in the composition and outcomes of applications examined within each art unit over the period covered by this record.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This profile presents a pooled record aggregating all decided applications across the examiner's art units in TC 2100. The 58% overall allowance rate is a historical summary of past decisions and does not predict the outcome of any specific application. Pooled figures mask variation among individual art units; a separate section of this page details allowance rates by art unit. The range (37% to 75%) illustrates that record varies meaningfully across art units. Pooled data describes past record only.

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

The record, art unit by art unit.

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 & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Aleksey Olshannikov 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 July 14, 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: 416 applications.

Rejection rates. Each §-rate is the share of this examiner's applications that drew at least one office-action rejection in which that statutory ground appears; applications with no rejection on record are excluded, and because grounds can co-occur the four do not sum to 100%. The art-unit figure beside each is the unweighted mean of the per-examiner rates across the art unit, published for §101 and §103 only. Beside the overall allowance rate we show a benchmark: for a single-art-unit examiner it is exactly that art unit's average, labeled “art-unit average”; for an examiner spanning several art units it is the “weighted peer average” — the per-art-unit averages, weighted by this examiner's application count in each — labeled distinctly because it is a blended figure, not any single art unit's average. Both are built from the same per-art-unit averages the panels show.

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.
