Examiner Larry T Mackall has allowed 737 of 872 decided applications (85%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Larry T Mackall has a pooled allowance rate of 85% across 872 disposed applications in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). His public record spans three art units: 2131, 2139, and 2189. Of the 908 total applications on record, 737 were allowed and 135 were abandoned. The allowance rate varies across his art units, ranging from 66% to 95%. This pooled figure aggregates outcomes across all three units and reflects historical disposition data only.
A pooled record combines dispositions across multiple art units into a single aggregate figure. The 85% allowance rate represents past outcomes across all three art units combined and is not a prediction for any specific application. The range (66% to 95%) shows variation among the individual art units but does not identify which rate applies to which unit. Pooled data describes the examiner's overall record; individual application outcomes depend on claim scope, prior art, and examination.
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. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Larry T Mackall 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: 908 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.
