Examiner Justin R Knapp has allowed 673 of 794 decided applications (85%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Justin R Knapp has a public record spanning 3 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 794 disposed applications, he has allowed 673, yielding an overall allowance rate of 85%. The allowance rate ranges from 72% to 86% across his art units. This pooled figure aggregates outcomes from multiple art units and reflects historical data on applications that reached final disposition—either allowed or abandoned—excluding applications still pending.
A pooled record aggregates an examiner's performance across multiple art units into a single allowance-rate figure. This aggregate describes past outcomes and is a historical measure, not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Individual art units may have different allowance rates; the range shown reflects that variation. The pooled allowance rate is useful context for understanding an examiner's overall profile, but does not forecast the result in any particular case.
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 error detection, correction, and monitoring, and error-correcting coding/decoding.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 105 decided applications with an interview and 642 without.
Primarily examines data-processing methods for specific functions, and processing data by its order or content.
Primarily examines program control and execution.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Justin R Knapp 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: 830 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.
