Examiner David Earl Ogg has allowed 276 of 327 decided applications (84%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
David Earl Ogg maintains a public record across one art unit in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 363 total applications, 276 were allowed and 51 were abandoned, yielding 327 disposed applications. The allowance rate stands at 84% of those decided applications. This pooled figure represents the examiner's overall record aggregated across all art units under his jurisdiction and reflects historical outcomes on applications that have reached final disposition.
A pooled record aggregates data across multiple art units into a single figure. The allowance rate—here 84%—describes the proportion of decided applications that were allowed in the past and is calculated only from disposed (final) applications, not from total filings. This aggregate statistic is a historical summary and is not a prediction of the outcome of any particular application or art unit.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner David Earl Ogg 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: 363 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.
