Examiner Lawrence J Shrader has allowed 25 of 34 decided applications (74%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Lawrence J Shrader maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning two art units. Over 34 disposed applications, his allowance rate is 74%. Of those disposed applications, 25 were allowed and 9 were abandoned. This pooled figure aggregates the examiner's work across art units 2124 and 2193 and reflects historical outcomes on decided cases. The record covers applications that have reached final disposition and does not include pending matters.
A pooled record aggregates an examiner's work across multiple art units within a single technology center. The allowance rate shown—here 74% across 34 disposed applications—represents past outcomes on decided cases and is a historical snapshot, not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Pooled figures smooth variation across different art units and subject areas but do not forecast how any individual application will be examined or decided.
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.
Primarily examines software engineering, and error detection, correction, and monitoring.
Primarily examines neural-network / biological-model computing, and machine learning.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Lawrence J Shrader 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: 34 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.
