What the data says.

John T Repsher Iii maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 400 total applications, 211 have been allowed and 143 abandoned, yielding 354 disposed applications. The allowance rate is 60% of decided applications. The examiner's work spans a single art unit, meaning this pooled record reflects activity within one specialized classification rather than aggregation across multiple distinct art-unit groups.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates all applications and dispositions across the examiner's art units into one overall allowance rate. This figure—60% here—describes the examiner's past output and reflects historical patterns in decided cases. It is a descriptive statistic of the public record, not a prediction of outcome for any individual application. Applicants review pooled data to understand historical context only.

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 →

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner John T Repsher Iii 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: 400 applications.
