Examiner Christian M Dorman has allowed 124 of 167 decided applications (74%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Christian M Dorman maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across a single art unit, the examiner has disposed of 167 applications. Of those 167 decided applications, 124 were allowed and 43 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 74%. This rate reflects the examiner's historical record on applications that have reached final disposition and is calculated as a share of all decided cases, excluding any pending matters.
This pooled record aggregates all art units under the examiner's jurisdiction and reflects dispositions already closed. The allowance rate of 74% describes past outcomes across 167 decided applications. Aggregate historical rates do not predict the outcome of any specific application. Each applicant's experience depends on the substance, claim scope, prior art, and examination record of their particular case.
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, and error-correcting coding/decoding.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Christian M Dorman 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: 167 applications.
