Examiner Bart I Rylander has allowed 87 of 129 decided applications (67%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Bart I Rylander maintains a pooled public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 167 total applications, 129 have been disposed. Of those decided applications, 87 were allowed and 42 abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 67%. This figure reflects outcomes across a single art unit (2124) within TC 2100.

This examiner's pooled record aggregates all applications and dispositions within the art unit(s) assigned to them. The 67% allowance rate describes historical outcomes across decided cases and does not predict the outcome of any specific application. Pooled figures are correlational snapshots of past activity, not causal indicators of how any future application will be examined or decided.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Bart I Rylander 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: 167 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.
