// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Examiner Alexey Shmatov maintains a public record spanning five art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 431 disposed applications, he allowed 268, yielding an overall allowance rate of 62%. His allowance rate ranges from 39% to 74% across these art units, reflecting variation in the examination outcomes within his portfolio. This pooled figure represents the aggregate of his work across multiple art units and does not predict the outcome of any individual application.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates Alexey Shmatov's examination activity across five art units in TC 2100. The 62% allowance rate describes the ratio of allowed to decided applications in his historical record and is not a prediction of any specific case. The range of 39% to 74% across art units shows variation in outcomes, but the pooled figure is a combined metric and does not isolate performance in any particular art unit or technology area.

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 →

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Alexey Shmatov 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: 434 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.
