Examiner Carlos Heberto De La Garza has allowed 11 of 16 decided applications (69%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Patent Examiner Carlos Heberto De La Garza maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across his record, 49 total applications have been filed. Of the 16 disposed applications, 11 were allowed, yielding an allowance rate of 69%. Five applications were abandoned. The examiner's record spans a single art unit. The allowance rate reflects only decided applications and does not include pending matters.
This pooled record aggregates outcomes across all art units in which the examiner works. The allowance rate of 69% describes the examiner's past decisions on disposed applications and is a historical aggregate. It is not a prediction of the outcome of any specific application. Pooled data masks variation across individual art units; per-art-unit records are available separately and may differ from the overall figure.
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 data-processing methods for specific functions, and processing data by its order or content.
Based on 49 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Carlos Heberto De La Garza 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: 49 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.
