Examiner Mary C Jacob has allowed 200 of 277 decided applications (72%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Mary C Jacob's public record spans Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) across one art unit. Over 277 disposed applications, she allowed 200 and abandoned 77, for an allowance rate of 72%. This rate reflects decided cases only and does not include pending applications. The pooled figure aggregates the examiner's record within the assigned art unit and describes her historical disposition pattern without indicating outcomes for any specific application.
A pooled record aggregates an examiner's dispositions across all assigned art units into a single allowance rate. This aggregate describes what occurred in past applications and reflects historical patterns of allowance and abandonment. The figure is not a prediction about any particular case. Because the record pools different art units, individual application outcomes may vary by subject matter and facts.
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 63 decided applications with an interview and 214 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Mary C Jacob 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: 277 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.
