Andrew M Lyons maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 561 total applications, 405 have been allowed and 122 abandoned, for a decided total of 527 applications. The allowance rate over those 527 disposed applications is 77%. This record spans a single art unit, 2191. The figures describe the examiner's historical record of decisions and do not predict outcomes in any individual application.
This profile aggregates the examiner's decisions across one art unit within TC 2100. An allowance rate is computed from decided applications only—those allowed or abandoned—and excludes pending cases. The 77% figure reflects historical decisions and is not a prediction about any specific application. Pooled records combine activity across all assigned art units and show overall patterns in the examiner's record.
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 software engineering, and error detection, correction, and monitoring.

A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 267 decided applications with an interview and 260 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Andrew M Lyons 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: 561 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.
