Examiner Edward Waddy Jr has allowed 319 of 378 decided applications (84%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Edward Waddy Jr maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning 2 art units. Across 378 disposed applications, his allowance rate is 84%. Of 403 total applications in his record, 319 were allowed and 59 were abandoned. The allowance rate reflects only decided applications—those permitted or abandoned—and does not include pending filings. This pooled figure aggregates outcomes across both art units and represents the historical record of applications that reached final disposition.
A pooled record combines outcomes from multiple art units into a single aggregate allowance rate. This figure describes what occurred in past applications and is not a prediction of any particular future application. Pooled rates mask variation across individual art units; detailed breakdowns by art unit appear in separate record sections. The aggregate allowance rate is a historical snapshot, not a guide to any specific case.
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, 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 248 decided applications with an interview and 113 without.
Based on 17 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Edward Waddy 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: 403 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.
