// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Jerome Anthony Klosterman II maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across a single art unit, the examiner has disposed of 18 applications, of which 15 were allowed and 3 were abandoned. This results in an allowance rate of 83% over the decided applications. The examiner's total caseload spans 49 applications. The 83% allowance rate reflects the proportion of decided cases—allowed plus abandoned—and does not represent a share of all pending filings. This pooled figure aggregates the examiner's record across all art units under their jurisdiction.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This record pools all applications across the examiner's art units into a single aggregate profile. The 83% allowance rate describes past decisions (allowed and abandoned applications) and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Aggregate statistics reflect historical patterns but do not forecast results in individual cases. Pooled data masks variation among different art units; a separate section of this page details performance within each art unit separately.

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 →
