Examiner Christian Joseph O'Connell has allowed 10 of 10 decided applications (100%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Christian Joseph O'Connell holds a public record across one art unit in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 27 total applications, 10 were allowed and 0 were abandoned, yielding 10 disposed applications. The allowance rate is 100%, calculated as a percentage of the 10 decided applications. This figure reflects the examiner's historical record and does not predict outcomes in any specific pending or future application.
This pooled record aggregates data from a single art unit and presents the examiner's historical allowance rate—the percentage of applications that were allowed among those already decided. The 100% figure describes past dispositions only. Aggregate statistics do not forecast results on any individual application and reflect a limited sample size of decided cases.
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 input/output (I/O) data transfer, and memory access and allocation.
Based on 27 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Christian Joseph O'Connell 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: 27 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.
