Examiner Brian Garmon has allowed 34 of 125 decided applications (27%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Brian Garmon has a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security), spanning one art unit. Across 125 disposed applications, 34 were allowed and 91 abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 27%. This rate is calculated from decided applications only and does not include pending filings. The record reflects outcomes on applications that have reached final resolution in TC 2100.
This pooled record aggregates all decisions across the examiner's art units into a single allowance rate. The 27% figure describes historical outcomes on disposed applications and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Pooled data masks variation by individual art unit; allowance rates may differ within TC 2100 depending on subject matter and prosecution circumstances.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Brian Garmon 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: 125 applications.
