Examiner Matthew T Henning has allowed 25 of 70 decided applications (36%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Matthew T Henning maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 70 disposed applications, 25 were allowed and 45 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 36%. This rate reflects decided cases only and excludes any pending applications. The examiner's record spans a single art unit, providing a focused view of activity within TC 2100. The allowance rate of 36% describes the historical proportion of allowed decisions among all concluded applications in this examiner's pooled record.
A pooled record aggregates all activity across an examiner's assigned art units into one overall profile. The allowance rate presented here—36% over 70 disposed applications—is a historical summary and does not constitute a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Pooled figures describe past decisions. Individual applications are examined on their merits within the substantive requirements of patent law. The aggregate rate is useful context for understanding an examiner's public record but carries no predictive force for any particular case.
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 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 26 decided applications with an interview and 44 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Matthew T Henning 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: 70 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.
