Examiner Caroline H Arcos has allowed 138 of 178 decided applications (78%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Caroline H Arcos maintains a pooled allowance rate of 78% across 178 disposed applications in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of those disposed applications, 138 were allowed and 40 were abandoned. Her public record spans a single art unit, Art Unit 2195. The 78% allowance rate reflects the ratio of allowed applications to all decided applications (allowed plus abandoned), excluding any pending matters. This figure describes her historical record across the applications decided to date.
This pooled record aggregates all disposed applications across the examiner's art units. The allowance rate—a historical statistic—describes what percentage of decided applications resulted in allowance and is calculated from the allowed and abandoned application counts only. Pooled figures do not account for variation among individual art units and are not predictions of outcome in any specific application. They serve as a summary of past dispositions only.
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 program control and execution.

A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 111 decided applications with an interview and 67 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Caroline H Arcos 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: 178 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.
