Examiner Charles E Anya has allowed 846 of 1,052 decided applications (80%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Charles E Anya maintains a public record across 2 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 1,052 disposed applications, his allowance rate is 80%. Of the 1,110 total applications in his record, 846 were allowed and 206 were abandoned. This pooled figure reflects work spanning art units 2126 and 2194 and represents decided cases only; pending applications are excluded from the allowance-rate calculation.
This record aggregates decisions across multiple art units within TC 2100. The 80% allowance rate describes past dispositions and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Pooled figures mask variations that may exist between individual art units. The allowance rate is calculated from decided applications only—abandoned and allowed cases—and does not include pending applications.
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.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 614 decided applications with an interview and 434 without.
Primarily examines neural-network / biological-model computing, and machine learning.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Charles E Anya 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: 1,110 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.
