Examiner Joy M Weber has allowed 82 of 152 decided applications (54%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Joy M Weber maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across a single art unit, the examiner has disposed of 152 applications. Of those decided applications, 82 were allowed and 70 were abandoned, corresponding to an allowance rate of 54%. This rate reflects the examiner's historical record on applications that have reached a final disposition. The pooled figure represents all decided cases within the examiner's assigned art unit and does not break down by individual art-unit assignment.
This record is pooled across all art units to which the examiner is assigned. Aggregate allowance rates describe the examiner's past disposition history and reflect proportions of decided applications over a defined period. An aggregate figure is not a prediction of the outcome of any specific application. Understanding a pooled record requires recognizing that it combines activity across multiple art units (if any) and serves as a summary of historical dispositions, not a forecast.
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.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 101 decided applications with an interview and 51 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Joy M Weber 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: 152 applications.
