Examiner Joseph R Kudirka has allowed 741 of 798 decided applications (93%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Joseph R Kudirka maintains a public record across 4 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 798 decided applications, his pooled allowance rate is 93%. This represents 741 allowed applications and 57 abandoned applications. The allowance rate varies across his art units, ranging from 68% to 95%. The pooled figure aggregates outcomes across all four art units and describes his historical record without predicting outcomes in any specific pending application.
A pooled record aggregates decisions across multiple art units into a single historical measure. The overall allowance rate of 93% reflects past outcomes across all four art units combined and does not constitute a prediction about any particular application. Allowance rates vary among individual art units; the range from 68% to 95% reflects this variation. Pooled statistics are descriptive of past record only and do not forecast results in any specific 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.
Primarily examines 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 367 decided applications with an interview and 340 without.
Primarily examines error detection, correction, and monitoring.
Based on 47 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Primarily examines program control and execution.
Based on 40 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Primarily examines information retrieval and database structures.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Joseph R Kudirka 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: 825 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.
