// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Kimbleann C Verdi maintains a public record across 3 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 198 disposed applications, the examiner's allowance rate is 77%, meaning 153 applications were allowed and 45 abandoned. The allowance rate ranges from 54% to 82% across the examiner's art units, reflecting variation in the record by subject-matter area. This pooled figure represents the historical outcome across all three art units combined and does not indicate the rate for any single art unit.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates results across multiple art units, smoothing variation that exists within each unit. The overall allowance rate (77% here) describes past dispositions on 198 applications and is not a prediction of outcome for any particular filing. The range (54% to 82%) shows that allowance rates differ across the examiner's art units; the pooled figure is a weighted average, not the rate applicable to any specific art unit or technology area. Consult the per-art-unit breakdown for granular data.

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 →

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Kimbleann C Verdi 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: 198 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.
