// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Mardochee Chery maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning 3 art units. Across more than a thousand decided applications pooled from these art units, the allowance rate stands at 88%. The allowance rate ranges from 74% to 93% across these art units. This pooled figure represents the percentage of applications that were allowed among all decided (allowed and abandoned) applications in the examiner's record.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This record aggregates decisions across multiple art units within TC 2100, providing an overall view of the examiner's allowance rate over time. The pooled 88% allowance rate describes past outcomes on decided applications and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. The range of 74% to 93% reflects variation among individual art units; the overall figure is the aggregate across all units combined.

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 Mardochee Chery 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 July 14, 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: 1,152 applications.

Rejection rates. Each §-rate is the share of this examiner's applications that drew at least one office-action rejection in which that statutory ground appears; applications with no rejection on record are excluded, and because grounds can co-occur the four do not sum to 100%. The art-unit figure beside each is the unweighted mean of the per-examiner rates across the art unit, published for §101 and §103 only. Beside the overall allowance rate we show a benchmark: for a single-art-unit examiner it is exactly that art unit's average, labeled “art-unit average”; for an examiner spanning several art units it is the “weighted peer average” — the per-art-unit averages, weighted by this examiner's application count in each — labeled distinctly because it is a blended figure, not any single art unit's average. Both are built from the same per-art-unit averages the panels show.

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.
