Examiner Jeffrey R Swearingen has allowed 46 of 101 decided applications (46%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Jeffrey R Swearingen's public record spans Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 101 disposed applications, 46 were allowed and 55 were abandoned, for an overall allowance rate of 46%. This rate represents decided applications only and does not include any pending filings. The examiner's record is pooled across a single art unit, meaning the figures reflect work in one art-unit classification within TC 2100.
A pooled record aggregates data across all art units assigned to an examiner and describes historical dispositions. The allowance rate of 46% reflects past outcomes on 101 decided applications and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Aggregate figures do not account for variation in individual case facts, claim scope, prior art, or applicant-specific circumstances. They describe what occurred, not what will occur.
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.

A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 30 decided applications with an interview and 71 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Jeffrey R Swearingen 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: 101 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.
