Examiner Andre R Fowlkes has allowed 27 of 60 decided applications (45%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Andre R Fowlkes maintains a public record across 2 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 60 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 27 and abandoned 33, yielding an allowance rate of 45% among decided cases. This figure reflects the pooled record across all art units under this examiner's jurisdiction and describes outcomes in past applications only.
This pooled record aggregates decisions across multiple art units, presenting an overall snapshot of the examiner's historical allowance rate. The 45% figure describes past outcomes across all assigned art units combined and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Pooled rates mask variation between individual art units; granular data for each unit appears separately on this page.
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.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Andre R Fowlkes 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: 60 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.
