Examiner Frantz Coby has allowed 451 of 523 decided applications (86%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Frantz Coby holds a public record of 523 disposed applications across 4 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of those decided applications, 451 were allowed and 72 were abandoned, yielding an overall allowance rate of 86%. The examiner's allowance rates across individual art units range from 78% to 90%. This pooled figure represents the aggregate of the examiner's work across all four art units and does not isolate performance within any single art unit.
A pooled record aggregates allowance data across multiple art units, presenting an overall picture of an examiner's historical disposition patterns. The allowance rate reflects decided applications only—allowed plus abandoned—and describes past outcomes, not predictions about future applications. Individual art units may have different allowance rates; this pooled summary shows the breadth and range across the examiner's portfolio.
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.

Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 41 decided applications with an interview and 241 without.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Frantz Coby 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: 523 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.
