Examiner Angelica Ruiz has allowed 792 of 942 decided applications (84%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Angelica Ruiz has a pooled public record of 972 total applications across Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security), spanning four art units. Of 942 disposed applications, 792 were allowed, yielding an allowance rate of 84%. The examiner's allowance rates vary across the four art units, ranging from 71% to 96%. This pooled figure aggregates decisions from multiple art units and reflects historical outcomes across the examiner's assigned subject matter areas.
A pooled record combines outcomes from multiple art units into a single aggregate profile. The overall allowance rate describes what occurred in the past across all the examiner's art units combined and does not constitute a prediction about any specific application. Because different art units may have different approval patterns, the range from minimum to maximum allowance rate shows the span of variation across the examiner's portfolio. Individual art-unit rates are published separately.
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 Angelica Ruiz 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: 972 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.
