Examiner James Jordan Thomas has allowed 22 of 49 decided applications (45%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
James Jordan Thomas has a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 49 disposed applications, he allowed 22 and abandoned 27, yielding an allowance rate of 45%. This rate reflects decisions on applications that have been closed—allowed or abandoned—and does not include pending filings. The examiner's record spans a single art unit, providing a pooled view of activity within that assignment.
A pooled record aggregates data across all art units assigned to an examiner. The allowance rate describes the historical share of decided applications that were allowed, computed from closed cases only. Pending applications are excluded from this calculation. This aggregate figure is a factual summary of past dispositions and is not a prediction about the outcome of any individual application or a measure of performance quality.
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 input/output (I/O) data transfer, and memory access and allocation.
Based on 49 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner James Jordan Thomas 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: 49 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.
