Examiner Charles Ehne has allowed 1,062 of 1,141 decided applications (93%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Charles Ehne maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). His pooled record across one art unit spans 1,161 total applications. Of 1,141 disposed applications, 1,062 were allowed, yielding an allowance rate of 93%. Seventy-nine applications were abandoned. This statistic reflects decisions on completed prosecution and does not characterize any pending matter.
This pooled record aggregates outcomes across all art units in which the examiner has worked. The allowance rate (93%) describes past-decided applications only and is not a prediction of outcomes on any specific pending case. Pooled figures mask variations across individual art units; per-art-unit data, where available, may reveal subject-matter differences within TC 2100.
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 error detection, correction, and monitoring.

A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 213 decided applications with an interview and 928 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Charles Ehne 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: 1,161 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.
