Examiner Christopher S Mccarthy

What the data says.

Christopher S Mccarthy maintains a public record across two art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 1,163 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 1,016 and abandoned 147, yielding an 87% allowance rate. The record aggregates outcomes from art units 2113 and 2184. This pooled figure reflects decisions rendered across both art units and does not indicate the distribution of applications or allowance rates within each individual unit.

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates examination outcomes across multiple art units within TC 2100. The 87% allowance rate describes past decisions on 1,163 disposed applications and reflects the combined history. Aggregate figures characterize the examiner's overall record and are not predictions about any specific application. Art-unit-specific records appear in separate sections and may differ from the pooled figure.

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 →
