Examiner Eric A Wiener has allowed 84 of 193 decided applications (44%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Eric A Wiener maintains a public record across two art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 193 disposed applications, the examiner's allowance rate is 44%, with 84 allowed and 109 abandoned applications. The allowance rate ranges from 43% to 44% across the examiner's art units. This pooled figure reflects the combined outcomes of work spanning multiple areas within TC 2100 and represents past decisions, not a prediction for any future application.
A pooled record aggregates outcomes across multiple art units into a single allowance-rate figure. The 44% rate shown here is the historical proportion of decided applications (allowed plus abandoned) that resulted in allowance across the examiner's entire portfolio within TC 2100. This aggregate describes the past record only and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Individual art units may vary from the pooled rate.
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 neural-network / biological-model computing, and machine learning.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Eric A Wiener 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: 193 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.
