Examiner Antonio J Caiado has allowed 136 of 194 decided applications (70%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Antonio J Caiado maintains a public record across 3 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 194 decided applications, the allowance rate stands at 70%. This aggregate figure pools outcomes from art units 2157, 2164, and 2168. The allowance rate ranges from 66% to 75% across these art units, reflecting variation in the examiner's record within the technology center. The record encompasses 221 total applications, of which 136 were allowed and 58 were abandoned.
This pooled record aggregates applications across multiple art units and represents historical dispositions only. An aggregate allowance rate describes the examiner's past record across all covered art units combined and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Variations in allowance rate across individual art units reflect differences in application complexity, subject matter, or other factors within TC 2100. Historical statistics do not forecast results in any pending or future matter.
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 Antonio J Caiado 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: 221 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.
