Examiner Michael C Maskulinski has allowed 995 of 1,092 decided applications (91%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Michael C Maskulinski maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning two art units. Across 1,092 decided applications, the examiner issued allowances in 995 cases, yielding an allowance rate of 91%. The record reflects activity across art units 2113 and 2184. Of the total 1,117 applications on file, 97 were abandoned. This pooled figure represents the examiner's combined record; individual art-unit data appear separately.
This pooled record aggregates decisions across multiple art units within TC 2100, combining different subject areas into a single historical snapshot. The 91% allowance rate describes past dispositions on 1,092 decided cases and does not constitute a prediction for any specific pending application. Pooled statistics smooth variation across art units and reflect the examiner's overall pattern; applicants reviewing art-unit-specific data may observe different rates within each unit.
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 error detection, correction, and monitoring.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 201 decided applications with an interview and 890 without.
Primarily examines interconnection and data transfer between memory, I/O, and processing units.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Michael C Maskulinski 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: 1,117 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.
