Examiner Joshua Neveln has allowed 145 of 211 decided applications (69%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Joshua Neveln has a public record of 211 disposed applications across 2 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of these decided applications, 145 were allowed and 66 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 69%. The allowance rate ranges from 68% to 69% across the art units in which he maintains a substantial record. This pooled figure aggregates data from multiple art units and reflects his historical performance on decided cases.
This pooled record combines data from multiple art units within TC 2100. The overall allowance rate of 69% is an aggregate across all art units where the examiner has decided applications. The range (68% to 69%) shows variation among individual art units, but the pooled figure does not predict the outcome of any specific application. Aggregate statistics describe past performance; they are not forecasts for future cases.
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. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Joshua Neveln 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: 211 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.
