Examiner Farley J Abad has allowed 907 of 1,048 decided applications (87%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Farley J Abad maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 1,071 total applications, 907 were allowed and 141 abandoned, for a combined disposed count of 1,048 applications. The allowance rate—the percentage of decided applications that were allowed—is 87%. This rate reflects the examiner's pooled record across all art units under their jurisdiction and does not serve as a prediction for any individual application.
This examiner's record is pooled across multiple art units, aggregating outcomes in different technology areas. The allowance rate of 87% describes historical dispositions across all assigned art units and is a correlational figure, not a causal indicator. Aggregate statistics describe past activity and do not predict the outcome of any specific application or prosecution path. Each application's merits are independent.
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 191 decided applications with an interview and 857 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Farley J Abad 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: 1,071 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.
