Examiner John David Hagler has allowed 20 of 32 decided applications (63%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
John David Hagler has a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning one art unit. Across 32 decided applications, his allowance rate is 63%, meaning 20 applications were allowed and 12 were abandoned. His total applications on record number 49, which includes pending matters not yet decided. This pooled figure represents his overall record across all art units in this technology center.
This record aggregates all art units under the examiner's jurisdiction and reflects historical dispositions. The allowance rate of 63% describes past outcomes across 32 decided cases and is not a prediction of outcomes in any specific application. Pooled figures smooth variations across different art units and subject areas. Individual art-unit records may differ from this aggregate.
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.
Primarily examines computer-aided design (CAD).
Based on 49 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner John David Hagler 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: 49 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.
