What the data says.

Jacques Veillard maintains a public record across 3 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 246 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 193, producing an overall allowance rate of 78%. The allowance rate across these art units ranges from 71% to 79%, reflecting variation in the decided record within TC 2100. This pooled figure aggregates applications handled across all three art units and describes the examiner's past record without predicting outcomes on any individual application.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record combines data from multiple art units into a single aggregate figure. The 78% allowance rate reflects decisions across all three art units under the examiner's purview in TC 2100. This aggregate describes historical outcomes and does not forecast results on any specific application. The range of 71% to 79% illustrates variation among the individual art units; the pooled rate is a summary, not a prediction.

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 Jacques Veillard 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: 246 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.
