Examiner Markus Anthony Villanueva has allowed 31 of 55 decided applications (56%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Markus Anthony Villanueva maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning two art units. Across 55 disposed applications, the allowance rate is 56%. The examiner's record shows variation across art units, with allowance rates ranging from 46% to 66%. Of the 93 total applications on record, 31 were allowed and 24 were abandoned. This pooled figure represents a snapshot of decided cases and does not forecast outcomes on any pending or future application.
A pooled record aggregates data across multiple art units into a single profile. The overall allowance rate of 56% reflects historical dispositions—allowed and abandoned applications combined—divided by total decided cases. This aggregate figure describes the examiner's past record across all their assigned art units and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Individual art-unit records may differ from the pooled rate.
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.
Primarily examines data-processing methods for specific functions, and processing data by its order or content.
Based on 26 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Markus Anthony Villanueva 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: 93 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.
