// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Louis Christopher Nye holds a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 45 total applications, 12 were disposed (decided). Of those 12 decided applications, 3 were allowed and 9 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 25% over the disposed count. The examiner's practice spans one art unit. This pooled record aggregates all work in that unit and reflects past dispositions; it does not forecast the outcome of any particular application.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates data across all art units where an examiner works. The allowance rate reported here—25%—reflects the ratio of allowed to total decided applications in the examiner's entire portfolio. This aggregate figure describes the examiner's historical record and is not a prediction of how any single future application will be examined or decided. Individual art units may have different characteristics and disposal patterns.

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 →

// BY ART UNIT

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Louis Christopher Nye 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: 45 applications.

Lynch LLP is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Examiner statistics are derived from publicly available USPTO data.

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.
