Examiner Alex G Olson has allowed 87 of 120 decided applications (73%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Alex G Olson maintains a public record spanning 2 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 120 disposed applications, 87 were allowed and 33 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 73%. This pooled figure reflects outcomes across both art units and represents the examiner's historical record of decided cases. The allowance rate is calculated from disposed applications only and does not include pending filings.
This pooled record aggregates data across multiple art units within TC 2100. Aggregate allowance rates describe an examiner's historical pattern of decisions across all units combined and are not predictions about any specific application. Individual art-unit records, where available separately, may vary from the pooled figure. Pooled statistics provide a broad view of overall disposition history but do not forecast outcomes 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.
Primarily examines input/output (I/O) data transfer, and memory access and allocation.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 60 decided applications with an interview and 58 without.
Primarily examines computer-aided design (CAD).
Based on 2 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Alex G Olson 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: 120 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.
