What the data says.

Anne L Damiano maintains a public record across two art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 36 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 33, for an allowance rate of 92%. This figure reflects decided cases—those allowed or abandoned—and does not include pending applications. The record spans art units 2114 and 2184 and is presented as a pooled aggregate across both units.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates data across multiple art units and reflects the examiner's historical rate of allowance on decided applications. Aggregate figures describe past outcomes and are not predictions for any specific application. Individual art-unit records may differ from the pooled average and appear in a separate section. Pooled data provides a broad view but does not account for variation by subject matter, application type, or prosecution history.

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 →

// BY ART UNIT

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Anne L Damiano 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: 36 applications.
