Examiner Jeffrey D Popham

What the data says.

Jeffrey D Popham maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning a single art unit. Across 72 disposed applications, his allowance rate is 46%, with 33 allowed and 39 abandoned.

The 46% figure describes the examiner's historical record across the pooled art-unit portfolio and is a factual summary of past dispositions.

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates data across all art units assigned to an examiner. The figures shown—allowance rate, application counts, and art-unit breadth—describe what has occurred historically and are correlational summaries of past dispositions. These statistics are not predictions of any specific application's outcome. They do not account for differences in application quality, claim scope, prior-art landscape, or examiner workload across time periods.

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 →
