Examiner Grace Victoria Braden has allowed 29 of 32 decided applications (91%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Grace Victoria Braden maintains a public record spanning one art unit in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 63 total applications, 32 have been disposed (decided), comprising 29 allowances and 3 abandonments. Her allowance rate is 91% over the 32 decided applications. This record reflects her examination history in TC 2100 and is pooled across all art units under her examination authority. The figures represent past outcomes and do not constitute a prediction for any specific pending application.
This examiner's record is pooled across a single art unit. Aggregate allowance rates describe historical outcomes across all applications decided in that unit and do not predict results in any individual case. An allowance rate of 91% reflects the proportion of decided applications (allowed plus abandoned) that were allowed, measured against the total count of disposed applications. Such historical pooled data provide context for past performance but are not forecasts of future examination outcomes.
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.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Grace Victoria Braden 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: 63 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.
