Examiner Brian Thomas Misiura has allowed 873 of 1,017 decided applications (86%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Brian Thomas Misiura maintains a public record across five art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 1,053 total applications, 873 have been allowed and 144 abandoned, yielding 1,017 decided applications. The pooled allowance rate stands at 86% of those decided applications. Across the examiner's art units, allowance rates range from 77% to 97%, reflecting variation in the record by subject matter within TC 2100.
This pooled record aggregates data across multiple art units and therefore represents an overall profile, not a unit-specific one. The allowance rate of 86% describes the examiner's historical record on decided applications across these five units combined. This aggregate figure is a historical measure and is not a prediction of the outcome of any specific application or prosecution.
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.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Brian Thomas Misiura 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: 1,053 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.
