Examiner Ernest Unelus has allowed 561 of 711 decided applications (79%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Ernest Unelus maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across one art unit, he has disposed of 711 applications. Of those decided applications, 561 were allowed and 150 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 79%. This pooled figure reflects the examiner's overall record across TC 2100 and does not forecast the outcome of any individual application.
This pooled record aggregates data across all art units where the examiner works. The 79% allowance rate describes the historical share of allowed applications among all decided cases in that combined record. Pooled figures describe past performance and are not predictions about any specific application. Individual art-unit records, where available separately, may show variation from the pooled average.
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 interconnection and data transfer between memory, I/O, and processing units, and program control and execution.

A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 387 decided applications with an interview and 324 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Ernest Unelus 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: 744 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.
