Examiner Greta Lee Robinson maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning five art units (2163, 2167, 2168, 2169, 2177). Across 1,294 disposed applications, the examiner's allowance rate is 82%. This rate represents 1,055 allowed applications and 239 abandoned applications. The allowance rate varies across the examiner's art units, ranging from 72% to 98%. The record reflects the examiner's decisions pooled across all five art units within TC 2100.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates applications across five separate art units, meaning the 82% allowance rate is a composite figure reflecting the examiner's historical decisions in multiple subject-matter areas within TC 2100. The overall rate and the range (72% to 98%) describe the past record only and are not predictions of outcomes in any specific pending application. Variation across art units reflects differences in the subject matter and application mix within each 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 →

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Greta Lee Robinson 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: 1,324 applications.

Lynch LLP is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Examiner statistics are derived from publicly available USPTO data.

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.
