Examiner John J Tabone Jr has allowed 1,250 of 1,391 decided applications (90%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
John J Tabone Jr maintains a public record across 4 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of 1,391 disposed applications, 1,250 were allowed, yielding an allowance rate of 90%. The examiner's record spans art units 2111, 2117, 2133, and 2138. Allowance rates across these art units range from 64% to 97%, reflecting variation in outcomes by art unit. This pooled figure aggregates the examiner's decisions across all four units and describes the historical record without prediction of any specific application.
A pooled record combines an examiner's decisions across multiple art units into a single aggregate profile. The overall allowance rate (90%) and the range (64% to 97%) describe past outcomes pooled together and are not predictions for any individual application. Individual art units often show different allowance rates due to differences in subject matter, claim complexity, and prior art landscape within each unit. This aggregate view illustrates the breadth of the examiner's work but does not determine the outcome of any pending case.
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 Tabone Jr 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: 1,412 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.
