Examiner Henry W Orr has allowed 280 of 573 decided applications (49%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Henry W Orr maintains a public record across four art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 573 decided applications, his pooled allowance rate is 49%, reflecting 280 allowed and 293 abandoned applications. His record spans art units 2145, 2172, 2175, and 2176. Allowance rates across these art units range from 41% to 79%, indicating variation in outcomes by art unit. This pooled figure represents historical dispositions and does not predict the outcome of any specific application.
A pooled record aggregates results across multiple art units, masking individual differences in allowance rates per unit. The overall allowance rate describes past decisions on disposed applications—those allowed or abandoned—and excludes pending matters. This aggregate figure is a historical snapshot, not a projection. Individual applications may encounter different examination patterns depending on their assigned art unit, which maintains its own record within TC 2100.
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. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Henry W Orr 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: 620 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.
