// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Jean C Edouard maintains a public record across two art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 246 disposed applications, the examiner's allowance rate is 95%, meaning 233 applications were allowed and 13 abandoned. The allowance rate varies across the examiner's art units, ranging from 85% to 97%. This pooled figure represents the aggregate outcome across all art units in the examiner's portfolio and describes the historical record without addressing any individual application.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates outcomes across multiple art units, producing a single allowance-rate figure that spans different subject areas and examination contexts within TC 2100. This aggregate allowance rate describes what occurred in the examiner's past decisions and is not a prediction about any specific application. Art-unit-level detail, where available separately, provides granularity that the pooled figure does not capture.

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

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Jean C Edouard 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.
