Examiner Christopher Anthony Daley has allowed 902 of 1,079 decided applications (84%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Christopher Anthony Daley maintains a public record across three art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 1,079 disposed applications, his allowance rate is 84%, reflecting 902 allowed and 177 abandoned applications. The allowance rate ranges from 68% to 94% across these art units, indicating variation in outcomes by art-unit assignment. This pooled figure aggregates his work across all three art units and describes his historical record without prediction of individual application outcomes.
A pooled record combines data from multiple art units into a single aggregate profile. The overall allowance rate and range reflect the examiner's historical performance across all assigned art units. These figures describe past decisions and are not predictive of outcomes in any specific case. Pooled data masks individual art-unit variation; the stated range indicates that allowance rates differ by art-unit assignment.
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 interconnection and data transfer between memory, I/O, and processing units.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 173 decided applications with an interview and 452 without.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 96 decided applications with an interview and 327 without.
Based on 31 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Christopher Anthony Daley 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: 1,102 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.
