What the data says.

Guy J Lamarre maintains a public record across 2 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 1,643 disposed applications, his allowance rate is 91%. This rate reflects 1,493 allowed applications and 150 abandoned applications. The allowance rate ranges from 89% to 91% across his art units, reflecting variation in the composition and outcomes of applications handled in each unit. The pooled figure aggregates all decided applications without separating them by individual art unit.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record combines allowance data across multiple art units into a single aggregate figure. The 91% allowance rate describes past outcomes across all applications decided in this examiner's record and is not a prediction for any specific application. The range (89% to 91%) shows variation among individual art units but does not identify which unit produced which rate. Pooled figures are historical summaries, not forecasts.

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 Guy J Lamarre 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: 1,643 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.
