Examiner Griffin Tanner Bean has allowed 6 of 27 decided applications (22%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Griffin Tanner Bean's public record spans Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security), covering one art unit. Across 27 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 6, yielding an allowance rate of 22%. The record includes 21 abandoned applications and 70 total applications filed. This pooled figure reflects outcomes across decided cases in the technology center and does not constitute a prediction for any specific application.
This pooled record aggregates data across all art units in which the examiner has issued decisions. The allowance rate and disposal figures describe historical outcomes only and reflect past decisions in decided applications. Pooled statistics do not predict the outcome of any individual case, nor do they indicate how any particular application will be examined or decided.
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 neural-network / biological-model computing, and machine learning.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Griffin Tanner Bean 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: 70 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.
