Examiner Geoffrey Wellman has allowed 22 of 30 decided applications (73%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Geoffrey Wellman holds a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 30 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 22 and abandoned 8, corresponding to a 73% allowance rate. This record spans a single art unit. The figures describe Wellman's pooled performance across all assignments in TC 2100 and are a factual summary of past actions taken on completed applications. The allowance rate reflects the share of decided applications that were allowed.
This record aggregates all applications decided by the examiner across their assigned art units in TC 2100. The pooled allowance rate is a historical average of dispositions on closed cases. Aggregate figures do not constitute a prediction of outcome on any individual application, nor do they account for case-specific facts, claim language, or prosecution history. Each application stands on its own merit and record.
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 neural-network / biological-model computing, and machine learning.
Based on 30 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Geoffrey Wellman 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: 30 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.
