// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Jordan Scott Motter maintains a pooled allowance rate of 79% across dozens of decided applications in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). This rate reflects the share of applications that were allowed among all decided (allowed and abandoned) applications across the examiner's record. The public record spans 2 art units within TC 2100. The allowance rate represents the examiner's historical disposition on decided applications and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates applications across multiple art units within TC 2100, presenting an overall allowance rate that describes past performance. The figure reflects historical decisions across a defined set of applications and does not predict outcomes in any particular case. Pooled rates combine different art units and examination contexts; individual applications may fall into different art units or circumstances not captured in 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 →

// BY ART UNIT

The record, art unit by art unit.

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.

    The examiner's pooled allowance rate is 79% across dozens of decided applications in TC 2100. This rate is calculated as a share of allowed and abandoned applications only—pending applications are not included.
  • How many art units does this examiner cover?
    The examiner's public record spans 2 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security).
  • Does the pooled allowance rate predict outcomes for my application?
    No. The pooled rate describes historical decisions across a set of decided applications. It is not a prediction for any specific application and does not account for individual claim language, prior art, or application-specific factors.

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Jordan Scott Motter 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 July 14, 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: 57 applications.

Rejection rates. Each §-rate is the share of this examiner's applications that drew at least one office-action rejection in which that statutory ground appears; applications with no rejection on record are excluded, and because grounds can co-occur the four do not sum to 100%. The art-unit figure beside each is the unweighted mean of the per-examiner rates across the art unit, published for §101 and §103 only. Beside the overall allowance rate we show a benchmark: for a single-art-unit examiner it is exactly that art unit's average, labeled “art-unit average”; for an examiner spanning several art units it is the “weighted peer average” — the per-art-unit averages, weighted by this examiner's application count in each — labeled distinctly because it is a blended figure, not any single art unit's average. Both are built from the same per-art-unit averages the panels show.
