Examiner Matthew G Mcvicker has allowed 23 of 56 decided applications (41%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Matthew G Mcvicker maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across one art unit, the examiner has disposed of 56 applications, of which 23 were allowed and 33 were abandoned. The allowance rate across these disposed applications is 41%. This figure represents the proportion of decided cases resulting in allowance and does not include pending applications. The pooled record spans a single art unit and reflects historical disposition data only.
This pooled record aggregates the examiner's activity across all art units in which they work. The allowance rate and application counts presented here are historical summaries—they describe what has been decided in the past. Pooled figures do not isolate performance by individual art unit or technology area. An aggregate allowance rate is a description of past outcomes, not a prediction of the outcome of any particular application or a measure of examination standards.
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.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 31 decided applications with an interview and 25 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Matthew G Mcvicker 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: 56 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.
