What the data says.

Boris M Pesin maintains a public record across 2 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 235 disposed applications, his allowance rate is 43%, meaning 102 applications were allowed and 133 were abandoned. This allowance rate describes his historical record across all decided cases in these art units and is not a prediction of outcomes in any specific application. The pooled figure aggregates work across different art units within TC 2100.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record combines statistics from multiple art units into a single overall profile. The allowance rate and application counts shown here represent aggregate past performance across all art units where this examiner works. These figures describe historical disposal patterns and are correlational only—they do not forecast the outcome of any individual application or indicate how a specific case will be examined.

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 →

// BY ART UNIT

The record, art unit by art unit.

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 & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Boris M Pesin 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: 235 applications.

Lynch LLP is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Examiner statistics are derived from publicly available USPTO data.

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.
