Examiner Brent S Stace has allowed 70 of 151 decided applications (46%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Brent S Stace maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). His pooled record across one art unit comprises 151 disposed applications, of which 70 were allowed and 81 were abandoned. This yields an allowance rate of 46% over the 151 decided applications. The record spans a single art unit and reflects dispositions completed through the examiner's examination activity in this technology center.
This pooled record aggregates all disposed applications across the examiner's art unit assignments. The 46% allowance rate describes historical outcomes on 151 decided cases and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Aggregate figures characterize past patterns across multiple applications and examiners in the technology center but do not forecast individual prosecution results.
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 information retrieval and database structures.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 76 decided applications with an interview and 75 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Brent S Stace 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: 151 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.
