Examiner Daniel Samwel has allowed 282 of 376 decided applications (75%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Daniel Samwel maintains a public record across 2 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of 376 disposed applications, 282 were allowed, yielding an allowance rate of 75%. The allowance rate ranges from 74% to 91% across these art units. The examined portfolio spans 414 total applications, with 94 abandonments recorded. This pooled figure represents the examiner's aggregate record across both art units and describes past dispositions without projecting outcomes on any individual application.
This pooled record aggregates decisions across multiple art units in TC 2100. The 75% allowance rate describes the historical ratio of allowed to decided applications and is not a prediction of how any specific application will be examined or decided. Allowance rates vary across the examiner's individual art units, ranging from 74% to 91%. Pooled data reflects cumulative performance and does not forecast the result in any particular 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 →
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.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 179 decided applications with an interview and 175 without.
Based on 22 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Daniel Samwel 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: 414 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.
