Examiner Michael Paul Mirabito has allowed 17 of 41 decided applications (41%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Michael Paul Mirabito maintains a public record across 2 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 84 total applications, 41 have been disposed of (allowed or abandoned). Of those 41 decided applications, 17 were allowed, yielding an allowance rate of 41%. The record reflects activity spanning multiple art units within TC 2100, and the 41% figure represents the pooled outcome across all of that work.
This profile aggregates the examiner's record across 2 art units. The 41% allowance rate describes past dispositions on 41 decided applications and is a historical summary only—not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Pooled figures combine different art units and examiner workflows; they describe what has occurred, not what will occur in future cases.
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 computer-aided design (CAD).
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 16 decided applications with an interview and 23 without.
Primarily examines artificial-intelligence and machine-learning methods.
Based on 2 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Michael Paul Mirabito 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: 84 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.
