Examiner Luke S Wassum has allowed 111 of 204 decided applications (54%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Luke S Wassum maintains a public record across two art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 204 disposed applications, he allowed 111 and abandoned 93, for an overall allowance rate of 54%. The allowance rate ranges from 43% to 56% across these art units, reflecting variation in the record within TC 2100. This pooled figure aggregates the examiner's work across both units and describes the historical record only.
A pooled, cross-art-unit record combines data from multiple art units into a single set of statistics. The overall allowance rate (54% here) is an aggregate that reflects the examiner's decisions across all assigned units and represents the past record. This figure is a statistical description only and is not a prediction of the outcome of any specific application, which depends on claim scope, prior art, and examination details unique to that 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 →
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 information retrieval and database structures.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 52 decided applications with an interview and 131 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Luke S Wassum 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: 204 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.
