Examiner John J Morris has allowed 174 of 264 decided applications (66%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
John J Morris maintains a public record across three art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 264 decided applications, his allowance rate stands at 66%. The record spans art units 2151, 2152, and 2157, with allowance rates ranging from 61% to 85% across these units. Of 295 total applications in his record, 174 were allowed and 90 were abandoned. These figures represent historical data and do not predict outcomes on any individual application.
This profile aggregates an examiner's record across multiple art units. The 66% allowance rate reflects decisions already made on 264 applications—allowed and abandoned cases combined—and describes past examination activity. Pooled figures mask variation among individual art units; the range of 61% to 85% shows that outcomes differ by art unit. Aggregate statistics are historical summaries, not forecasts of how any specific application will be examined.
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.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner John J Morris 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: 295 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.
