What the data says.

Michael J Pyzocha's public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spans one art unit. Across 162 disposed applications, 70 were allowed and 92 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 43%. This rate reflects the ratio of allowed applications to all decided applications in the examiner's pooled record. The figures represent historical outcomes and do not characterize performance on any individual application or predict the disposition of any pending matter.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates data across all art units under an examiner's jurisdiction. The allowance rate of 43% describes the examiner's past decided applications as a whole and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Pooled figures mask variation across different art units and subject matter within TC 2100. Review of art-unit-specific records provides more granular insight into examination patterns within particular technology domains.

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 & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Michael J Pyzocha 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: 162 applications.
