Examiner Jerry B Dennison has allowed 72 of 131 decided applications (55%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Jerry B Dennison maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across one art unit, the examiner has disposed of 131 applications. Of those decided applications, 72 were allowed and 59 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 55%. This pooled figure reflects outcomes across all art units in the examiner's record and describes the historical rate at which applications have been allowed or abandoned.
This pooled record aggregates all art units under the examiner's jurisdiction and reports the overall allowance rate as a historical fact. The 55% figure describes past decisions on 131 closed applications and is not a prediction of the outcome of any specific application. Pooled data combines different art units and different application characteristics, making it a broad measure rather than a case-specific forecast.
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.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 50 decided applications with an interview and 81 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Jerry B Dennison 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: 131 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.
