Examiner Keith E Vicary has allowed 440 of 754 decided applications (58%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Keith E Vicary has a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning 2 art units. Across 754 disposed applications, 440 were allowed, yielding an allowance rate of 58%. Of the 811 total applications in his record, 314 were abandoned. The allowance rate across his art units ranges from 55% to 63%, reflecting variation in the decided record within TC 2100.
This pooled record aggregates Examiner Vicary's work across multiple art units within TC 2100. The 58% allowance rate describes past dispositions—allowed applications as a percentage of all decided cases—and does not predict outcomes in any specific pending application. Pooled figures mask individual art-unit variation; the range of 55% to 63% illustrates this diversity but does not identify which art unit produced which rate.
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 E Vicary 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: 811 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.
