Examiner James J Debrow has allowed 430 of 614 decided applications (70%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
James J Debrow has a public record across 3 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 614 disposed applications, his allowance rate is 70%, representing 430 allowed and 184 abandoned applications. The allowance rate across the art units ranges from 45% to 93%, reflecting variation in outcomes across the different art units within TC 2100. This pooled figure aggregates his record across all three art units and describes decisions made to date.
A pooled record aggregates an examiner's performance across multiple art units. The overall allowance rate of 70% describes past dispositions across all three art units combined and does not predict outcomes in any specific application. The range of 45% to 93% shows that individual art units within TC 2100 have recorded different allowance rates. The pooled rate is a historical aggregate and is not a forecast for future applications.
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 James J Debrow 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: 650 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.
