Examiner Brian R Peugh has allowed 1,222 of 1,309 decided applications (93%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Brian R Peugh maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning four art units. His pooled allowance rate is 93% across 1,309 disposed applications, of which 1,222 were allowed and 87 abandoned. The allowance rate ranges from 90% to 98% across his art units. This aggregate figure describes the historical record across all examined art units combined and does not constitute a prediction for any specific application.
A pooled record aggregates disposal statistics across multiple art units, combining applications from different subject areas within TC 2100. The allowance rate reflects the proportion of decided cases (allowed plus abandoned) and is calculated from disposed applications only, excluding pending filings. Aggregate figures describe past outcomes and are correlational, not predictive of any individual application's result.
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 Brian R Peugh 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: 1,338 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.
