Examiner Clint Lee Mullinax has allowed 63 of 129 decided applications (49%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Clint Lee Mullinax maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 163 total applications, 129 have been disposed (decided). Of those 129 disposed applications, 63 were allowed, yielding an allowance rate of 49%. The remaining 66 disposed applications were abandoned. The examiner's record spans a single art unit. This pooled figure represents the examiner's historical record across all assigned art units and is not a prediction of outcome for any individual application.
A pooled record aggregates statistics across multiple art units, if any. The allowance rate describes applications already decided—allowed and abandoned combined—and excludes pending applications. These figures are a summary of past dispositions and do not predict the outcome of any specific pending application. Different art units within TC 2100 may have distinct examination patterns; this pooled view presents the overall record only.

A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 96 decided applications with an interview and 33 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Clint Lee Mullinax 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: 163 applications.
