Examiner Benjamin P Geib has allowed 604 of 697 decided applications (87%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Benjamin P Geib maintains a public record across 3 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 697 disposed applications, his allowance rate is 87%, comprising 604 allowed and 93 abandoned applications. The allowance rate across his art units ranges from 73% to 92%. This pooled figure aggregates his record across multiple art units and describes his historical record; it is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome.
A pooled record aggregates an examiner's decisions across multiple art units, producing an overall allowance rate and a range showing variation among those units. The aggregate allowance rate describes past dispositions and does not predict outcomes on individual applications. The range reflects differences in the examiner's record across different art units within TC 2100, not changes over time.
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.
Primarily examines program control and execution.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Benjamin P Geib 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: 697 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.
