Examiner Justin R Blaufeld has allowed 251 of 533 decided applications (47%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Justin R Blaufeld maintains a public record across four art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 533 decided applications, the examiner's allowance rate is 47%, meaning 251 applications were allowed and 282 abandoned. The allowance rate varies across these art units, ranging from 37% to 62%. This pooled figure aggregates the examiner's work across multiple subject areas and represents dispositions on applications already decided; it does not describe pending applications or forecast outcomes on any specific filing.
A pooled record aggregates an examiner's decisions across multiple art units and does not distinguish performance by subject area. The allowance rate—the share of decided applications that were allowed—describes the past record only. Aggregate figures reflect historical dispositions and are not predictions about any particular application. Understanding the range across art units may inform context, but individual application outcomes depend on claim scope, prior art, and examination history.
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 neural-network / biological-model computing, and machine learning.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 187 decided applications with an interview and 87 without.
Primarily examines information retrieval and database structures.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 63 decided applications with an interview and 31 without.
Primarily examines general computer details, and program control and execution.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 85 decided applications with an interview and 38 without.
Primarily examines program control and execution.
Based on 42 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Justin R Blaufeld 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: 601 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.
