Examiner Eric B Kiss has allowed 72 of 129 decided applications (56%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Eric B Kiss maintains a public record across 2 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 129 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 72 and abandoned 57, resulting in an allowance rate of 56%. This rate describes the share of decided applications in the examiner's pooled record. The figure reflects outcomes across multiple art units and represents the examiner's historical record only, not a prediction about any specific application or future prosecution.
This record aggregates data across 2 art units within TC 2100. The allowance rate of 56% describes past decisions on 129 disposed applications and is a historical statistic. Pooled figures like this combine different art units and subject areas, so the aggregate rate does not predict outcomes in any individual application. The record shows what happened; it is not a forecast of what will happen in any particular 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 software engineering.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 52 decided applications with an interview and 76 without.
Primarily examines neural-network / biological-model computing, and machine learning.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Eric B Kiss 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: 129 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.
