Examiner Elizabeth G Wright has allowed 21 of 94 decided applications in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Elizabeth G Wright's public record spans 3 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across dozens of decided applications, her allowance rate is 22%. This figure represents the share of applications that were allowed among all decided (allowed and abandoned) applications in her pooled record. The allowance rate reflects outcomes on applications that have reached final disposition; pending applications are excluded from this calculation.
This pooled record aggregates outcomes across multiple art units, presenting an overall picture of past dispositions rather than a prediction for any single application. Aggregate allowance rates describe historical performance across a examiner's caseload and do not indicate the outcome of any specific case. Understanding the breadth of an examiner's work across different art units provides context for their overall record, though individual applications may follow different paths.
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.
Grounds can co-occur, so the four don't sum to 100%. The art-unit figure is the unweighted mean across examiners in the art unit; §102 and §112 carry no art-unit benchmark.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 38 decided applications with an interview and 30 without.

Based on 19 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Elizabeth G Wright 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 July 14, 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: 94 applications.
Rejection rates. Each §-rate is the share of this examiner's applications that drew at least one office-action rejection in which that statutory ground appears; applications with no rejection on record are excluded, and because grounds can co-occur the four do not sum to 100%. The art-unit figure beside each is the unweighted mean of the per-examiner rates across the art unit, published for §101 and §103 only. Beside the overall allowance rate we show a benchmark: for a single-art-unit examiner it is exactly that art unit's average, labeled “art-unit average”; for an examiner spanning several art units it is the “weighted peer average” — the per-art-unit averages, weighted by this examiner's application count in each — labeled distinctly because it is a blended figure, not any single art unit's average. Both are built from the same per-art-unit averages the panels show.

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.
