Examiner David E Martinez has allowed 618 of 726 decided applications (85%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
David E Martinez maintains an 85% allowance rate across 726 disposed applications in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). His record spans two art units, with allowance rates ranging from 81% to 85% across these units. The 85% figure represents allowed applications as a percentage of all decided cases (allowed plus abandoned), excluding pending matters. This pooled record aggregates his work across multiple art-unit assignments and reflects historical disposition data only.
A pooled record combines an examiner's allowance rates across all art units into a single aggregate figure. This aggregate describes past decisions across different subject areas and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Allowance rates vary by art unit due to differences in application complexity, statutory requirements, and prior art. The range shown reflects this variation. Pooled data provides context on overall patterns but does not determine individual case results.
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 interconnection and data transfer between memory, I/O, and processing units, and program control and execution.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 184 decided applications with an interview and 494 without.
Primarily examines data-processing methods for specific functions, and processing data by its order or content.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner David E Martinez 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: 726 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.
