What the data says.

Cory C Bell maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 34 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 9 and abandoned 25. The allowance rate is 26% over the 34 decided applications. The examiner's record spans one art unit. This pooled figure reflects past dispositions and does not characterize performance on any individual application or predict the outcome of any pending matter.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates all applications across the examiner's art units into a single allowance-rate figure. The 26% allowance rate describes outcomes over 34 decided applications in the past. Pooled statistics combine different areas of subject matter and represent the examiner's historical record only—they are not predictions about any specific application, nor do they account for variation by art unit, claim type, or applicant.

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 →

// FAQ

Questions about Examiner Cory C Bell

  • What is Cory C Bell's overall allowance rate?
    The examiner's allowance rate is 26%, calculated over 34 disposed applications (9 allowed, 25 abandoned).
  • How many art units does this examiner cover?
    This record spans one art unit (2164) within TC 2100.
  • Does the allowance rate predict outcomes on my application?
    No. The pooled allowance rate describes past dispositions only and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Individual results depend on claim scope, prior art, and examination history.
  • Why are there more abandoned than allowed applications?
    Abandonment occurs when an applicant does not respond to office actions or does not pursue further prosecution. The allowance rate is the ratio of allowed to all decided applications and reflects the historical record without implying causation.

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Cory C Bell 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: 34 applications.

Lynch LLP is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Examiner statistics are derived from publicly available USPTO data.

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.
