Examiner Brian J Assessor has allowed 28 of 36 decided applications (78%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Brian J Assessor maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning two art units. Across 36 disposed applications, 28 were allowed and 8 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 78%. This rate reflects the ratio of allowed to decided applications in the examiner's pooled record. The breadth of two art units means this aggregate figure combines outcomes across distinct examination areas within the technology center. The data presented describes historical disposition only and does not characterize examination patterns or predict outcomes in any specific case.
A pooled record aggregates applications across multiple art units, producing a single allowance-rate figure that blends different subject areas and examination contexts. The 78% rate reflects past dispositions of 36 applications across both units combined. Aggregate statistics describe what occurred in closed cases and are not predictions about pending or future applications. Individual art-unit records, where available separately, may show different allowance rates and warrant independent review for comparison.
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 error detection, correction, and monitoring.
Primarily examines neural-network / biological-model computing, and machine learning.
Based on 2 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Brian J Assessor 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: 36 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.
