Examiner Dwin M Craig has allowed 524 of 671 decided applications (78%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Dwin M Craig maintains a public record across 2 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 671 disposed applications, the allowance rate is 78%, representing 524 allowed and 147 abandoned applications. The allowance rate across the examiner's art units ranges from 75% to 89%, reflecting variation in the decided record within TC 2100. This pooled figure aggregates outcomes across multiple art units and does not predict outcomes in any individual application.
A pooled record combines data from multiple art units under one examiner. The overall allowance rate—here 78%—describes past decisions across all those units combined and reflects historical volume and outcomes. The range (75% to 89%) shows variation among individual art units but does not indicate which specific applications fall into higher or lower categories. These figures describe the past record and are not predictions about specific pending or future applications.
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 Dwin M Craig 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: 671 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.
