// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Daniel Patrick Gruszka holds a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across his pooled record, 47 applications have been filed. No applications have been allowed, and none have been abandoned or disposed. Because no applications have been decided, an allowance rate cannot be calculated. This record reflects filings that remain pending or are otherwise undecided. The examiner's work spans a single art unit within TC 2100.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates data across all art units under the examiner's supervision. When applications remain pending or undecided, no allowance rate can be derived—the rate is computed only from decided applications (allowed and abandoned combined). An aggregate figure describes the examiner's historical record and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Individual art-unit records may show different patterns.

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 →

// BY ART UNIT

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Daniel Patrick Gruszka 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: 47 applications.

Lynch LLP is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Examiner statistics are derived from publicly available USPTO data.

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.
