Examiner Lewis Alexander Bullock Jr has allowed 184 of 305 decided applications (60%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Lewis Alexander Bullock Jr maintains a public record across five art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of 305 disposed applications, 184 were allowed, yielding an overall allowance rate of 60%. The examiner's record spans art units 2126, 2127, 2193, 2195, and 2199. Allowance rates across these art units range from 13% to 76%, reflecting variation in the outcomes within TC 2100 over the examined period.
This pooled record aggregates outcomes across five separate art units and represents a historical summary, not a prediction for any individual application. The 60% overall allowance rate describes past dispositions in decided cases and does not indicate the outcome of pending or future applications. The range of rates (13% to 76%) shows that outcomes vary by art unit; reviewing the per-art-unit detail is necessary to understand performance in any specific classification.
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 Lewis Alexander Bullock Jr 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: 323 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.
