Examiner Fritz Alphonse has allowed 1,429 of 1,538 decided applications (93%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Fritz Alphonse maintains a public record across 2 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 1,538 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 1,429 and abandoned 109, yielding an allowance rate of 93%. The allowance rate ranges from 83% to 94% across the examiner's art units, reflecting variation in the record within TC 2100. This pooled figure represents the aggregate of decisions rendered across all assigned art units and does not project outcomes for any individual application.
A pooled record aggregates data across multiple art units, obscuring differences in individual art-unit performance. The overall allowance rate of 93% describes historical decisions made across all assigned art units and is a descriptive statistic—not a prediction of how any specific application will be examined. Art-unit-level rates may differ from this aggregate. Applicants can view per-art-unit records separately to identify variation within 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.
Primarily examines error detection, correction, and monitoring, and error-correcting coding/decoding.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 161 decided applications with an interview and 1,236 without.
Primarily examines input/output (I/O) data transfer, and memory access and allocation.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Fritz Alphonse 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: 1,538 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.
