Examiner Joseph R Maniwang has allowed 34 of 73 decided applications (47%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Joseph R Maniwang maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 73 disposed applications, his allowance rate is 47 percent, with 34 allowed and 39 abandoned. The examiner's record spans a single art unit.

This examiner's record aggregates decisions across one art unit within TC 2100. The pooled allowance rate of 47 percent describes applications already decided—allowed or abandoned—and reflects historical data only. Aggregate figures represent past disposal patterns and are not predictive of any individual application's path or final disposition.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Joseph R Maniwang 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: 73 applications.
