Eric T Oberly holds a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 702 total applications, 668 have been disposed (allowed or abandoned). Of those disposed applications, 513 were allowed and 155 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 77%. This figure represents the examiner's pooled record across a single art unit (2184) within TC 2100. The allowance rate is calculated as a percentage of decided applications only and does not include pending cases.
This record aggregates the examiner's history across one art unit in TC 2100. The allowance rate of 77% describes what occurred in past applications that reached a final decision. Pooled figures reflect outcomes across the art unit's subject matter and do not constitute a prediction for any individual application. Statistics provide historical context only; each application presents distinct facts and claim scope.

A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 271 decided applications with an interview and 397 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Eric T Oberly 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: 702 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.
