// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Examiner Enrique W Iturralde maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 210 decided applications, the examiner has allowed 125 and abandoned 85, yielding a 60% allowance rate. The record spans a single art unit. This pooled figure aggregates all applications within that art unit over the period covered by the public record. The allowance rate describes the historical proportion of decided cases resulting in allowance; it is a summary of past dispositions and does not predict outcomes in any specific pending or future application.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This profile presents a pooled record aggregated across all art units under the examiner's jurisdiction. When an examiner works across multiple art units, the overall allowance rate reflects the combined experience in all those units and masks variation between them. Aggregate figures describe the past record and offer no prediction about any particular application. Per-art-unit breakdowns, where available separately, provide granularity that pooled data does not.

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 →

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Enrique W Iturralde 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: 210 applications.

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.
