Examiner Cynthia H Britt has allowed 1,640 of 1,743 decided applications (94%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Cynthia H Britt maintains a public record of 1,769 total applications across 4 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of 1,743 disposed applications, 1,640 were allowed, yielding a 94% allowance rate. The allowance rate varies across the examiner's art units, ranging from 86% to 98%. This pooled figure aggregates the examiner's work across all four art units and reflects historical outcomes on decided applications only; pending cases are excluded from the calculation.
This record pools data across multiple art units, aggregating allowance rates into a single figure. Pooled statistics describe past outcomes across different subject areas and do not constitute a prediction for any specific application. Individual art-unit records, where available separately, show the range of variation. A pooled allowance rate reflects the examiner's historical decisions on all decided cases combined and is correlational data, not predictive.
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 →
Each section benchmarks this examiner against that art unit's average. Figures are this examiner's own public record within the art unit; the overall rate above pools them.
Primarily examines control or regulating systems.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Cynthia H Britt 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: 1,769 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.
