Examiner Kyle R Stork has allowed 662 of 1,061 decided applications (62%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Kyle R Stork maintains a pooled allowance rate of 62% across 1,061 disposed applications in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). His public record spans 4 art units: 2128, 2143, 2144, and 2178. The allowance rate ranges from 56% to 78% across these art units, reflecting variation in outcomes within the examiner's portfolio. Of 1,128 total applications on record, 662 were allowed and 399 were abandoned. This pooled figure represents a snapshot of historical dispositions and does not predict outcomes in any specific application.
This pooled record aggregates data across multiple art units within TC 2100. An allowance rate derived from disposed applications—allowed plus abandoned cases—reflects past outcomes across the examiner's entire portfolio. The range (56% to 78%) indicates that allowance rates vary among individual art units. Pooled figures describe historical performance and are correlational data; they are not predictions of any specific application's outcome or indicators of examiner intent.
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 Kyle R Stork 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: 1,128 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.
