What the data says.

Examiner Fritz M Fleming maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning two art units. Of 56 disposed applications, 39 were allowed and 17 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 70% over the decided pool. This rate reflects the examiner's aggregate record across both art units and describes outcomes in applications that received final disposition. The record does not include pending applications.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates two separate art units within TC 2100. The allowance rate (70% of 56 decided applications) is a historical aggregate and does not predict outcomes in any individual application. Pooled figures smooth variation across art units and subject matter within the technology center. To understand performance by specific art unit, consult the per-unit breakdown on this page. Aggregate statistics describe the past record only.

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 →

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Fritz M Fleming 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: 56 applications.

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.
