Examiner Bernard G Lindsay has allowed 359 of 505 decided applications (71%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Bernard G Lindsay maintains an allowance rate of 71% across 505 disposed applications in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). His public record spans two art units: 2119 and 2127. The allowance rate ranges from 71% to 72% across these art units. Of the 551 total applications on record, 359 were allowed and 146 were abandoned. The disposed count (505) excludes pending applications and represents the decided pool used to calculate the allowance rate.
This pooled record aggregates data across multiple art units within TC 2100. The allowance rate describes the examiner's historical record of decided applications and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Pooled figures mask variation among individual art units; per-art-unit detail, where available, may show different patterns. Aggregate statistics are descriptive only and do not indicate how any future application will be examined or decided.
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 →

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Bernard G Lindsay 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: 551 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.
