Examiner Courtney D Fields has allowed 102 of 131 decided applications (78%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Courtney D Fields maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 131 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 102 and abandoned 29, yielding an allowance rate of 78%. This record spans a single art unit (2137). The 78% allowance rate represents the percentage of applications with final dispositions—either allowed or abandoned—and does not reflect pending applications. This pooled figure aggregates the examiner's work across all assigned art units.
This pooled record aggregates all art units under the examiner's purview. The allowance rate of 78% describes historical outcomes across 131 decided applications and is not a prediction about any specific case. Pooled figures smooth variations that may exist across individual art units. For detailed analysis by specific art unit, refer to the separate per-unit breakdown section. Aggregate statistics describe past record only.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Courtney D Fields 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: 131 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.
