What the data says.

Andrew J Cromer maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 22 disposed applications, his allowance rate is 59%, with 13 allowed and 9 abandoned. This record spans a single art unit. The allowance rate reflects outcomes on decided applications and is not predictive of any specific case. All figures are pooled across his art-unit assignments.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates all applications decided by the examiner across his assigned art units in TC 2100. The allowance rate is calculated from decided applications only (allowed plus abandoned), excluding pending cases. Aggregate historical rates describe past outcomes and do not forecast results in any individual application. Individual art-unit records, where available separately, may show different patterns.

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 Andrew J Cromer 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: 22 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.
