Examiner Daniel A Kuddus has allowed 474 of 672 decided applications (71%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Daniel A Kuddus maintains a public record spanning 2 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 672 disposed applications, he allowed 474, yielding a pooled allowance rate of 71%. This rate represents decided cases (allowed and abandoned applications); pending cases are excluded. The allowance rate ranges from 41% to 83% across his art units, reflecting variation in the outcomes recorded within each unit's portfolio.
A pooled record aggregates results across multiple art units, masking unit-specific variation. The 71% allowance rate describes the examiner's past decisions on closed applications and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. The range (41% to 83%) shows that individual art units within TC 2100 record different allowance rates. Pooled figures offer a broad historical snapshot; they do not forecast prosecution results in any particular technology area or case.
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 Daniel A Kuddus 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: 705 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.
