// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Jason L Alvesteffer has a pooled public record of 26 disposed applications across three art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of those 26 decided applications, 12 were allowed and 14 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 46%. This record spans art units 2158, 2167, and 2169, aggregating dispositions from multiple subject-matter areas within the technology center. The figures reflect the examiner's past decisions and do not constitute a prediction for any specific pending application.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates dispositions across three separate art units, each potentially covering distinct subject matter within TC 2100. A combined allowance rate reflects the overall historical pattern but does not account for variation among individual art units or predict outcomes in any single case. Pooled statistics describe past decisions only and are correlational data, not causal indicators of how any future application will be examined or 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 →

// BY ART UNIT

The record, art unit by art unit.

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 & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Jason L Alvesteffer 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: 26 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.
