Examiner Evral E Bodden has allowed 538 of 730 decided applications in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Evral E Bodden maintains a pooled allowance rate of 74% across hundreds of decided applications in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). The examiner's public record spans 3 art units within this technology center. The allowance rate varies across these art units, ranging from 39% to 91%. This range reflects differences in how applications are disposed across the examiner's various art-unit assignments. The 74% figure represents the aggregate outcome across all decided applications—both allowed and abandoned—pooled from the examiner's entire TC 2100 portfolio.
A pooled allowance rate aggregates outcomes across multiple art units into a single figure representing the examiner's overall record. This aggregate does not predict the outcome of any specific application. Allowance rates computed from past decided applications describe historical disposal patterns, not probabilities for future cases. The range between the lowest and highest art-unit rates shows variability in outcomes by subject matter within the technology center, but individual art-unit rates apply only to applications in those units.
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, and error detection, correction, and monitoring.
Grounds can co-occur, so the four don't sum to 100%. The art-unit figure is the unweighted mean across examiners in the art unit; §102 and §112 carry no art-unit benchmark.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 182 decided applications with an interview and 219 without.
Primarily examines program control and execution, and software engineering.
Grounds can co-occur, so the four don't sum to 100%. The art-unit figure is the unweighted mean across examiners in the art unit; §102 and §112 carry no art-unit benchmark.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 117 decided applications with an interview and 146 without.
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 32 decided applications with an interview and 34 without.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Evral E Bodden 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 July 14, 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: 755 applications.
Rejection rates. Each §-rate is the share of this examiner's applications that drew at least one office-action rejection in which that statutory ground appears; applications with no rejection on record are excluded, and because grounds can co-occur the four do not sum to 100%. The art-unit figure beside each is the unweighted mean of the per-examiner rates across the art unit, published for §101 and §103 only. Beside the overall allowance rate we show a benchmark: for a single-art-unit examiner it is exactly that art unit's average, labeled “art-unit average”; for an examiner spanning several art units it is the “weighted peer average” — the per-art-unit averages, weighted by this examiner's application count in each — labeled distinctly because it is a blended figure, not any single art unit's average. Both are built from the same per-art-unit averages the panels show.

These statistics describe past examiner behavior and do not predict the outcome of any particular application. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.
