Examiner Kevin W Figueroa has allowed 284 of 395 decided applications (72%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Kevin W Figueroa maintains a public record across 2 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 395 disposed applications, his allowance rate stands at 72%, representing 284 allowed applications against 111 abandonments. The allowance rate ranges from 65% to 73% across these art units, reflecting variation in the examiner's record within this technology center. This pooled figure aggregates outcomes across the different art units and reflects historical dispositions only.
A pooled record combines statistics from multiple art units into a single aggregate profile. The allowance rate shown is the historical proportion of decided applications (allowed plus abandoned) across all art units combined, not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Variation across individual art units may exist; the range provided reflects that diversity. Aggregate figures describe past record and do not forecast results 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 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 191 decided applications with an interview and 156 without.
Primarily examines neural-network / biological-model computing, and machine learning.
Based on 48 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Kevin W Figueroa 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: 426 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.
