Examiner David S. Posigian has allowed 69 of 206 decided applications (34%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
David S. Posigian maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 206 disposed applications, 69 were allowed and 137 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 33%. This figure reflects the ratio of allowed applications to all decided applications in the examiner's pooled record. The examiner's work spans one art unit. The allowance rate is calculated from applications with final dispositions and does not include pending applications.
This pooled record aggregates the examiner's work across all assigned art units into a single allowance-rate figure. The 33% rate describes the past record across decided cases and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Pooled figures smooth variation across different art units and subject areas. Individual art-unit records, if available separately, may show different rates. Historical statistics are correlational and do not indicate what will occur 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 148 decided applications with an interview and 58 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner David S. Posigian 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: 206 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.
