Examiner Craig C Dorais has allowed 770 of 847 decided applications (91%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Craig C Dorais holds a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning two art units. Across 847 decided applications, his allowance rate is 91%. This figure reflects 770 allowed applications and 77 abandoned applications. His record spans art units 2194 and 2198. Allowance rates across these art units range from 89% to 99%, reflecting variation in the composition and outcomes of applications within TC 2100 over the examiner's tenure.
This pooled record aggregates outcomes across multiple art units within TC 2100, combining different application types and prosecution histories. The overall allowance rate of 91% describes the examiner's past decided applications and is not a prediction of outcomes for any future or pending application. Variation across individual art units (89% to 99%) reflects differences in the art-unit-specific application populations and is documented separately.
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 Craig C Dorais 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: 884 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.
