Examiner Keith D Bloomquist has allowed 500 of 773 decided applications (65%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Keith D Bloomquist maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning 2 art units. Across 773 disposed applications, his allowance rate is 65%. The allowance rate ranges from 60% to 82% across these art units. His pooled record reflects 500 allowed applications and 273 abandoned applications. This pooled figure aggregates outcomes across different art units and describes his historical record; it is not a prediction for any specific application.
A pooled record combines statistics from multiple art units into a single aggregate. The 65% allowance rate reflects decided applications (allowed and abandoned combined) across all art units this examiner covers. Because different art units handle different technology areas, the aggregate figure masks variation: individual art units range from 60% to 82%. Pooled data is historical context, not a prediction for any particular filing.
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.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Keith D Bloomquist 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: 841 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.
