Examiner Christopher J Brown has allowed 45 of 74 decided applications (61%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Christopher J Brown maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). His pooled record spans one art unit and covers 74 disposed applications. Of those decided applications, 45 were allowed and 29 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 61%. This figure represents applications that received a final decision—either allowance or abandonment—and excludes any pending matters. The record reflects outcomes across all applications within his assigned art unit during the period covered.
This pooled record aggregates all applications and outcomes across the examiner's assigned art unit(s). The allowance rate of 61% describes the historical ratio of allowed to decided applications and is a factual summary of past dispositions. Aggregate figures do not constitute predictions about any specific application's outcome. Different applications may proceed differently depending on claim scope, prior art, prosecution history, and examiner actions on each individual 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 →

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Christopher J Brown 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: 74 applications.
