Examiner Andrew R Dyer has allowed 298 of 524 decided applications (57%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Andrew R Dyer maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across one art unit, the examiner has disposed of 524 applications. Of those decided applications, 298 were allowed and 226 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 57%. This rate reflects the proportion of allowed applications among all disposed cases in the examiner's pooled record.
This pooled record aggregates the examiner's work across a single art unit. The allowance rate of 57% describes what has occurred in past-decided applications and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Pooled figures mask variation that may exist within individual art units or across different claim types, prosecution histories, or amendments. Review of detailed art-unit records and case-by-case examination patterns provides additional context.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Andrew R Dyer 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: 524 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.
