Examiner Charles D Adams has allowed 209 of 476 decided applications (44%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Charles D Adams maintains a public record across 3 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). His pooled allowance rate is 44% over 476 disposed applications. The allowance rate ranges from 27% to 97% across these art units, reflecting variation in the record across different subject areas within the technology center. A total of 514 applications appear in his record, of which 209 were allowed and 267 were abandoned.
This pooled record aggregates outcomes across multiple art units within TC 2100. The overall allowance rate and application counts describe the examiner's past disposition history and are not predictions about any specific application. Variation across art units reflects differences in subject matter and case complexity within the technology center. Applicants may review individual art-unit records for more granular data relevant to their specific technology area.
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 Charles D Adams 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: 514 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.
