Examiner Michael Roswell has allowed 204 of 352 decided applications (58%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Michael Roswell has a public record of 352 disposed applications across 5 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of these decided applications, 204 were allowed and 148 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 58%. The allowance rate across Roswell's art units ranges from 40% to 76%, reflecting variation in outcomes among the different art units in which he has examined. This pooled figure aggregates his work across all five art units and represents his historical record of allowed and abandoned applications.
This pooled record aggregates Roswell's examination outcomes across multiple art units in TC 2100. The overall allowance rate of 58% describes the proportion of decided applications that were allowed across his entire art-unit portfolio. Because this figure combines results from five separate art units, it represents a broad snapshot of his past work rather than a prediction of any outcome on a specific application. Individual art units within his record show allowance rates that range from 40% to 76%.
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 30 decided applications with an interview and 125 without.
Primarily examines artificial-intelligence and machine-learning methods.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Michael Roswell 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: 352 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.
