Examiner Charles Rones has allowed 87 of 141 decided applications (62%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Charles Rones holds a public record across 5 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 141 disposed applications, his overall allowance rate is 62%, with 87 allowed and 54 abandoned. The allowance rate across his art units ranges from 27% to 81%, reflecting variation in outcomes by art unit. This pooled figure represents the aggregate of his work across these different subject-matter areas and describes his historical record only.
A pooled record aggregates data from multiple art units into a single allowance rate. This aggregate describes past outcomes across different technology areas and is not a prediction about any specific application. Allowance rates vary by art unit within an examiner's portfolio. The range shown reflects this variation. Pooled statistics provide historical context but do not indicate how any future application will be examined.
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 general computer details, and program control and execution.
Primarily examines information retrieval and database structures.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Charles Rones 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: 148 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.
