Examiner Donald Thomas Roden has allowed 0 of 3 decided applications (0%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Donald Thomas Roden's public record spans Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) and covers 32 total applications. Across 3 disposed applications, the allowance rate is 0%. The record includes 3 abandoned applications and 0 allowed applications. This pooled figure reflects outcomes on decided cases only and does not include pending applications. The examiner's work appears in a single art unit within TC 2100.
This pooled record aggregates all art units where the examiner works. The 0% allowance rate describes past outcomes across 3 decided applications and is a historical summary only. Aggregate statistics reflect the examiner's overall record and are not predictions about any specific application. Individual art units may show different patterns; per-art-unit detail is available separately.

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 machine learning, and neural-network / biological-model computing.
Based on 32 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Donald Thomas Roden 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: 32 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.
