What the data says.

Examiner Monplaisir G Hamilton maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) across 2 art units. Over 34 disposed applications, the allowance rate is 32%. This means 11 applications were allowed and 23 were abandoned among the decided cases. The pooled record spans art units 2135 and 2172. This aggregate figure reflects outcomes across both art units combined and describes the examiner's historical disposition of applications in this technology center.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates dispositions across multiple art units, creating a single allowance-rate figure. This aggregate describes past outcomes but is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. The examiner's work spans different subject areas within TC 2100, and the combined rate reflects all decided cases across those areas. Individual art-unit records, where available, provide more specialized subject-matter context.

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 →

// BY ART UNIT

The record, art unit by art unit.

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.

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Monplaisir G Hamilton 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: 34 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.
