What the data says.

James R Turchen maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). His pooled allowance rate is 29% across 21 disposed applications.

This allowance rate reflects the historical outcome of applications he has examined; it describes past dispositions and is not predictive of any individual application's outcome.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This examiner's record aggregates decisions across all his assigned art units into a single pooled allowance rate. The 29% figure represents past outcomes on 21 decided applications and does not forecast the result of any specific case. Pooled data obscure variation among individual art units. Aggregate statistics describe historical patterns, not causation or 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 James R Turchen 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: 21 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.
