Examiner Grant D Johnson has allowed 36 of 132 decided applications (27%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Grant D Johnson maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). His pooled record spans one art unit and covers 132 disposed applications. Of those 132 decided applications, 36 were allowed and 96 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 27%. This allowance rate represents applications that received final approval as a percentage of all applications with final dispositions (allowed plus abandoned). The record reflects outcomes across all applications in the art unit, aggregated without differentiation by application type or filing date.
This examiner's public record pools data across one art unit within TC 2100. The allowance rate of 27% is a historical aggregate—a summary of past dispositions—and is not a prediction of any individual application's outcome. Pooled figures describe overall patterns and do not account for variations in claim scope, amendment history, examiner assignment rotation, or application-specific circumstances. Aggregate statistics serve as background context 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 →
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.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 41 decided applications with an interview and 91 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Grant D Johnson 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: 132 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.
