Examiner Gregory Aaron Kessler has allowed 927 of 1,034 decided applications (90%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Gregory Aaron Kessler has a public record spanning three art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). His pooled allowance rate is 90%, calculated from 927 allowed applications and 107 abandoned applications among 1,034 total decided applications. The allowance rate across his art units ranges from 53% to 97%, reflecting variation in the disposition patterns within the technology center. This record aggregates outcomes across multiple art units and represents historical data only.
A pooled record aggregates allowance rates across multiple art units, masking unit-to-unit variation. The 90% overall figure describes past dispositions in aggregate and is not a forecast for any individual application. The stated range (53% to 97%) indicates that allowance rates differ meaningfully among the three art units represented here. Pooled statistics describe what occurred; they do not predict outcomes in specific cases.
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.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Gregory Aaron Kessler 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: 1,081 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.
