What the data says.

Kyle Vallecillo maintains a public record of 757 disposed applications across one art unit in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security).

This allowance rate is computed from the ratio of allowed and abandoned applications to all disposed applications, and represents the examiner's historical record across the pooled art unit.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates data from a single art unit. The allowance rate of 86% describes past dispositions and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Allowance rates vary by art unit, technology center, and applicant population. Historical figures serve as context for an examiner's record but do not determine the fate of any individual 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 →

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Kyle Vallecillo 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: 757 applications.
