Examiner Edward J Dudek Jr has allowed 1,138 of 1,269 decided applications (90%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Edward J Dudek Jr maintains a public record across 3 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 1,269 disposed applications, his allowance rate is 90%, computed from 1,138 allowed applications and 131 abandoned applications. The allowance rate ranges from 81% to 99% across these art units, reflecting variation in outcomes across different subject areas within TC 2100. This pooled figure aggregates his record across all three art units and does not represent a prediction for any individual application.
A pooled examiner record aggregates outcomes across multiple art units and reflects historical disposal data only. The allowance rate shown—90% here—is a backward-looking statistic of applications already decided, not a forecast of how any future or pending application will be examined. Different art units within the same technology center may produce different allowance rates. Pooled figures mask that variation; per-art-unit detail is available separately.
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 input/output (I/O) data transfer.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 209 decided applications with an interview and 542 without.
Primarily examines computer-aided design (CAD).
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 58 decided applications with an interview and 305 without.
Primarily examines input/output (I/O) data transfer, and memory access and allocation.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 45 decided applications with an interview and 110 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Edward J Dudek Jr 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: 1,308 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.
