// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Jr. Campbell maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning one art unit. Across 88 disposed applications, 12 were allowed and 76 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 14%. This figure represents the ratio of allowed to decided applications in the examiner's pooled record. The data reflects applications that have reached final disposition—allowances and abandonments—and does not include pending filings. This record is historical and factual; it describes outcomes already adjudicated.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates statistics across multiple art units (in this case, one) and presents overall performance figures. The allowance rate reflects past decisions on applications that were decided. Because this figure combines different art units and application types, it describes the examiner's historical record as a whole. Aggregate figures are not predictions of the outcome of any specific application, nor do they account for variations in application complexity, claim scope, or prosecution strategy across individual 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 →

// BY ART UNIT

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Jr. Campbell 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: 88 applications.

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.
