Examiner Kweku William Halm has allowed 214 of 264 decided applications (81%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Kweku William Halm maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across his single art unit, 316 applications have been filed. Of 264 decided applications, 214 were allowed and 50 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 81%.

This pooled record aggregates all art units under one examiner profile. The allowance rate of 81% reflects past decisions across 264 disposed applications and is a historical aggregate, not a prediction of outcomes on any new or pending application. Applicants reviewing this profile see the examiner's overall record; individual art units may show different patterns. Aggregate statistics describe what has occurred, not what will occur in any specific prosecution.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Kweku William Halm 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: 316 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.
