// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Examiner Daniel Brennan Trainor maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 38 total applications, 12 have been allowed and 0 abandoned, yielding 12 disposed applications. The allowance rate is 100% over the 12 decided cases. The examiner's work spans a single art unit. This pooled record reflects outcomes across decided applications only; it does not include pending matters and does not project the disposition of any future application.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates all decided applications across the examiner's assigned art units in TC 2100. The 100% allowance rate describes past outcomes on 12 disposed applications and reflects the historical pattern only. Pooled figures are statistical summaries and are not predictions of any specific application's outcome. Per-art-unit breakdowns, when available separately, may show variation not visible in the aggregate.

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 & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Daniel Brennan Trainor 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: 38 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.
