Examiner Glenn Gossage has allowed 306 of 378 decided applications (81%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Glenn Gossage has a public record across 3 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of 378 disposed applications, 306 were allowed, yielding an 81% allowance rate. The allowance rate varies across his art units, ranging from 62% to 93%. This pooled figure represents decided applications only—allowed and abandoned combined—and does not include any pending matters. The record spans art units 2135, 2185, and 2187.
A pooled record aggregates statistics across multiple art units and reflects past dispositions. The overall allowance rate describes the examiner's historical performance across all assigned units and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Variation across individual art units means that performance differs by subject matter within TC 2100. Individual art-unit records provide more granular detail for applications in a particular unit.
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 input/output (I/O) data transfer, and memory access and allocation.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 123 decided applications with an interview and 127 without.
Primarily examines computer-aided design (CAD).
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Glenn Gossage 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: 378 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.
