Examiner Jacob F Betit has allowed 76 of 170 decided applications (45%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Jacob F Betit maintains a public record across 4 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 170 disposed applications, the allowance rate stands at 45%. This pooled figure reflects 76 allowed applications and 94 abandoned applications. Allowance rates across the individual art units range from 40% to 57%. The examiner's record spans art units 2158, 2164, 2166, and 2169.
A pooled record aggregates outcomes across multiple art units, each of which may have different statutory requirements and claim patterns. The overall allowance rate describes historical disposal outcomes and is not a prediction about any specific application. The range across art units indicates variation in the examiner's record by subject area, reflecting differences in how applications in each art unit were 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.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Jacob F Betit 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: 170 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.
