Examiner John Q Chavis has allowed 951 of 1,061 decided applications (90%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
John Q Chavis maintains a public record across Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security), spanning three art units: 2124, 2191, and 2193. Over 1,061 disposed applications, the allowance rate stands at 90%, with 951 allowed and 110 abandoned. The allowance rate ranges from 79% to 90% across these art units, reflecting variation in the examiner's record within TC 2100. This pooled figure represents decided applications only and does not include pending matters.
A pooled record aggregates statistics across multiple art units, producing an overall allowance rate that describes historical disposal patterns. The range reflects differences among individual art units but does not isolate any single unit's performance. Pooled figures describe what has occurred in the examiner's record and are not predictions about any specific application or outcome.
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 software engineering, and error detection, correction, and monitoring.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 300 decided applications with an interview and 720 without.
Primarily examines neural-network / biological-model computing, and machine learning.
Primarily examines software engineering, and error detection, correction, and monitoring.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner John Q Chavis 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: 1,061 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.
