Examiner Matthew A Bradley has allowed 494 of 570 decided applications (87%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Matthew A Bradley holds a public record of 570 disposed applications across three art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of these decided applications, 494 were allowed and 76 were abandoned, resulting in an allowance rate of 87%. The allowance rate varies across the three art units, ranging from 81% to 93%. This pooled figure represents an aggregate of the examiner's work across multiple art units and describes the historical record without prediction of outcomes in any individual case.
This pooled record aggregates data from three separate art units, each of which may have distinct subject matter within TC 2100. The overall allowance rate of 87% describes past decisions on 570 disposed applications and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. When reviewing a pooled, cross-art-unit record, the reported range reflects variation among the art units; individual art-unit records are published separately for more targeted analysis.
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 computer-aided design (CAD).
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 57 decided applications with an interview and 213 without.
Primarily examines input/output (I/O) data transfer, and memory access and allocation.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 39 decided applications with an interview and 200 without.
Primarily examines data-processing methods for specific functions, and processing data by its order or content.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Matthew A Bradley 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: 570 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.
