Examiner Andres E Gutierrez has allowed 59 of 165 decided applications (36%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Andres E Gutierrez maintains a public record of 165 disposed applications across 4 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of these decided applications, 59 were allowed and 106 were abandoned, yielding an overall allowance rate of 36%. The examiner's allowance rate across individual art units ranges from 32% to 40%. This pooled record spans art units 2141, 2172, 2174, and 2178, aggregating examination history across multiple areas of TC 2100.
A pooled record aggregates an examiner's history across multiple art units into a single overall figure. The allowance rate of 36% describes past dispositions—allowed and abandoned applications—and does not predict the outcome of any particular application. The range (32% to 40%) reflects variation among the examiner's art units; individual applications may fall in any part of that spectrum depending on the specific art unit, claims, and prior art.
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 artificial-intelligence and machine-learning methods.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 44 decided applications with an interview and 76 without.
Based on 22 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Andres E Gutierrez 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: 165 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.
