Examiner Andrea Natae Long has allowed 201 of 393 decided applications (51%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Andrea Natae Long has a pooled public record of 393 disposed applications across 2 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of these decided applications, 201 were allowed and 192 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 51%. The allowance rate across the examiner's art units ranges from 48% to 52%. This pooled figure aggregates the examiner's work across multiple art units and reflects the historical share of applications that received allowances among all decided cases.
A pooled record combines data across multiple art units, so the overall allowance rate is a weighted aggregate. This 51% figure describes past outcomes across all decided applications and does not predict the outcome of any specific application. Variation exists across individual art units (48%–52%), so applicants reviewing detailed per-art-unit records may encounter different historical rates depending on the specific art unit handling their 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.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Andrea Natae Long 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: 393 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.
