Examiner Kevin L Ellis has allowed 271 of 294 decided applications (92%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Kevin L Ellis maintains a public record across 5 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 294 disposed applications, the allowance rate stands at 92%. This rate reflects the ratio of allowed to decided applications (allowed plus abandoned), pooled across all art units covered. The record spans multiple distinct examination areas within TC 2100, aggregating outcomes across these units into a single historical figure. This pooled figure describes past dispositions and is not a prediction for any specific application.
A pooled, cross-art-unit record aggregates data from multiple examination areas into one overall allowance rate. That rate is historical—a summary of past decisions—not a forecast for any particular application. Art units can differ in examination scope and application characteristics. An aggregate allowance rate describes the examiner's combined record across those units and does not predict the outcome of any individual case or indicate how any single art unit performs.
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 Kevin L Ellis 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: 294 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.
