Examiner George L Opie has allowed 27 of 38 decided applications (71%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
George L Opie has a public record across 2 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 38 disposed applications, 27 were allowed and 11 abandoned, for an overall allowance rate of 71%. This rate is computed from decided applications only and does not include any pending filings. The pooled figure aggregates the examiner's work across both assigned art units and reflects the historical disposition record on file.
This pooled record combines the examiner's activity across 2 art units within TC 2100. Aggregate allowance rates describe past decisions on a set of applications and are not predictions of outcomes in any individual case. The 71% figure reflects applications already decided; it does not account for ongoing examination, variations in application complexity, or differences in prosecution strategy between applicants.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner George L Opie 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: 38 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.
