Examiner Deric Omar Ortiz has allowed 91 of 132 decided applications (69%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Deric Omar Ortiz maintains a public record across 3 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of 132 disposed applications, 91 were allowed, yielding a 69% allowance rate. The allowance rate ranges from 71% to 73% across the examiner's art units. This pooled figure aggregates the records of art units 2156, 2194, and 2198, and reflects decided applications (allowed and abandoned) only, excluding pending filings.
This record is a pooled aggregate across multiple art units, not a prediction for any single application. Pooled figures reflect past disposition counts and allowance rates and do not forecast the outcome of a specific filing or describe the examiner's examination practices. The range (71%–73%) shows variation across the examiner's art units and reflects historical data 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.
Primarily examines 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 19 decided applications with an interview and 83 without.
Primarily examines program control and execution.
Based on 24 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Deric Omar Ortiz 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: 132 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.
