Examiner Marc D Thompson has allowed 21 of 34 decided applications (62%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Marc D Thompson maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning one art unit. Across 34 disposed applications, 21 were allowed and 13 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 62% over the decided count. This record reflects outcomes on applications that have reached final disposition. The data encompasses completed prosecution histories within TC 2100 and does not include pending applications.
This pooled record aggregates all art units under which this examiner has issued decisions. The allowance rate of 62% describes the examiner's historical disposition rate across decided applications and is a statistical summary of past outcomes only. Aggregate figures do not predict the result of any individual application. Each application presents unique facts and claims. Historical rates describe what has occurred, not what will occur.
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 Marc D Thompson 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.
