Examiner Marshall L Werner has allowed 145 of 213 decided applications (68%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Marshall L Werner maintains a public record spanning 2 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 213 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 145, yielding an allowance rate of 68%. Of the 282 total applications on record, 68 were abandoned and 69 remain pending. This pooled figure reflects the examiner's aggregate allowance rate across both art units and does not indicate performance within any single unit.
A pooled record aggregates statistics across multiple art units, presenting an overall snapshot of an examiner's allowance rate and disposal volume. The 68% allowance rate here is calculated from decided applications only—allowed plus abandoned—and excludes pending filings. This aggregate figure describes historical outcomes across both art units combined and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome.
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 neural-network / biological-model computing, and machine learning.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 153 decided applications with an interview and 56 without.
Primarily examines neural-network / biological-model computing, and machine learning.
Based on 4 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Marshall L Werner 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: 282 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.
