Examiner Daniel W Parcher has allowed 178 of 288 decided applications (62%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Daniel W Parcher maintains a public record across two art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 288 disposed applications, his allowance rate stands at 62%. The allowance rate ranges from 56% to 76% across these art units, reflecting variation in the mix of applications and outcomes within TC 2100. Of 334 total applications in his record, 178 were allowed and 110 were abandoned. This pooled figure aggregates his work across both art units and describes his historical record without predicting outcomes in any specific case.
A pooled examiner record aggregates applications and dispositions across multiple art units, masking individual unit performance. The overall allowance rate describes past outcomes—the ratio of allowed applications to all decided ones—and is not a prediction of any specific application. Differences between the range (high and low rates across units) and the pooled rate reflect variation in the composition and results within each art unit. Historical rates are correlational data and do not indicate how any future application will be examined or decided.
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 general computer details, and program control and execution.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Daniel W Parcher 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: 334 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.
