Across 36 disposed applications, Fischer allowed 26 and abandoned 10, for an allowance rate of 72%. This record spans a single art unit (2163).

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This examiner's record is pooled across all assigned art units, aggregating disposal data from different areas within TC 2100. The allowance rate of 72% describes past decisions and reflects the historical share of allowed dispositions among decided applications. Aggregate figures describe a completed body of work and are not predictions about individual applications. Per-art-unit breakdowns appear in separate sections of this profile.

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 Erich Alexander Fischer 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: 36 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.
