Examiner Matthew D Anderson has allowed 80 of 95 decided applications (84%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Matthew D Anderson has a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 95 disposed applications, 80 were allowed and 15 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 84%. This rate reflects all decided cases in the examiner's pooled record. The examiner works within one art unit. The allowance rate is calculated from disposed applications only and does not include pending filings. This public record represents past outcomes across the examiner's caseload.
This pooled record aggregates applications from all art units where the examiner has worked. The allowance rate describes past decisions on cases that reached final disposition—allowed or abandoned—and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Pooled figures smooth variation across art units and cases. Historical rates are correlational summaries and do not indicate what will occur in any particular examination.
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 →

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Matthew D Anderson 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: 95 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.
