Examiner Jacob D Dascomb has allowed 416 of 482 decided applications (86%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Jacob D Dascomb has a public record spanning two art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 482 disposed applications, he allowed 416, for an allowance rate of 86%. The allowance rate ranges from 85% to 92% across his art units. His record includes 66 abandoned applications and 541 total applications, with some matters still pending. These figures reflect historical disposition and are not predictions of any specific application outcome.
This pooled record aggregates Dascomb's work across multiple art units. The overall allowance rate of 86% describes what portion of decided applications were allowed historically. Because the record spans different art units, the aggregate figure masks variation—the range (85% to 92%) shows that individual art units differ. Pooled statistics describe past outcomes, not future ones, and do not apply uniformly to every new application.
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 software engineering, and program control and execution.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Jacob D Dascomb 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: 541 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.
