Examiner Ashley Fortino has allowed 178 of 288 decided applications (62%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Ashley Fortino's public record spans 2 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over a pooled career record of 288 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 178 applications and 110 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 62% across all decided cases. This rate reflects outcomes across the examiner's assigned art units and represents the proportion of applications that were allowed among all disposed (decided) applications in the examiner's record.
This pooled record aggregates data across multiple art units and therefore describes the examiner's overall historical performance rather than a prediction for any single application. Aggregate allowance figures describe past outcomes across different subject-matter areas and applicant cohorts. Individual art-unit records, where available, may show variation from the pooled rate and provide more granular subject-matter context.
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.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 147 decided applications with an interview and 122 without.
Primarily examines general computer details, and program control and execution.
Based on 19 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Ashley Fortino 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: 288 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.
