// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Andre Pierre Louis maintains a pooled allowance rate of 72% across hundreds of decided applications in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). His public record spans 4 art units within this technology center. The allowance rate across his art units ranges from 63% to 83%, reflecting variation in outcomes across the different art-unit assignments. This pooled figure represents the share of his decided applications—those either allowed or abandoned—and does not include pending applications. The range indicates that allowance rates differ depending on the specific art unit examined.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates data across multiple art units, creating an overall snapshot of an examiner's allowance rate. This aggregate figure describes the examiner's historical record and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Allowance rates can vary meaningfully across individual art units; the range provided shows the dispersion of rates among the units in this examiner's portfolio. Pooled statistics are useful for understanding overall patterns but do not determine how any single application will be examined.

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 Andre Pierre Louis 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: 914 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.

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.
