Examiner Derrick A Boateng has allowed 31 of 51 decided applications (61%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Derrick A Boateng maintains a public record across 2 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 51 disposed applications, the examiner's allowance rate is 61%. This rate reflects 31 allowed applications and 20 abandoned applications. The pooled figure spans art units 2121 and 2125. This record describes decisions made in the past and is not predictive of outcomes in any specific pending application.
This pooled record aggregates data across multiple art units within TC 2100, presenting an overall allowance rate rather than unit-specific figures. The 61% allowance rate is calculated from all decided applications (allowed plus abandoned) across both art units combined. Aggregate historical rates describe past dispositions and are correlational data—not predictions about any individual case or field within the technology center.
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 neural-network / biological-model computing, and machine learning.
Based on 45 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Derrick A Boateng 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: 51 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.
