Examiner David Robert Vincent has allowed 861 of 1,016 decided applications (85%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
David Robert Vincent maintains a public record across three art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 1,016 decided applications, his allowance rate is 85%. The allowance rate reflects 861 allowed applications and 155 abandonments, pooled across all art units. His record spans art units 2123, 2124, and 2129. Allowance rates across these art units range from 84% to 85%. This pooled figure aggregates the examiner's decisions across multiple distinct art units and represents his historical record as a composite.
A pooled record combines an examiner's decisions across multiple art units into a single aggregate profile. The allowance rate and art-unit range shown here represent historical statistics across all the examiner's assignments and are not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Pooled data masks variation within individual art units; granular detail by art unit appears in a separate section. These figures describe past decisions only.
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.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner David Robert Vincent 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: 1,052 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.
