Examiner John J Romano has allowed 21 of 47 decided applications (45%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
John J Romano maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning 2 art units. Over 47 disposed applications, the examiner's allowance rate is 45%. This figure represents 21 allowed applications against 26 abandoned applications, pooled across all assigned art units. The allowance rate of 45% describes the examiner's historical record on decided cases and does not characterize performance on any individual application or predict outcomes in pending matters.
This pooled record aggregates data across multiple art units within TC 2100. The allowance rate of 45% is a historical summary of decided applications and reflects past dispositions only. Pooled figures do not isolate performance by art unit or technology area, nor do they constitute predictions about specific pending applications. Individual art-unit records are maintained separately and may differ from the 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.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner John J Romano 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: 47 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.
