Examiner Nathan Sadler has allowed 569 of 768 decided applications (74%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Nathan Sadler's public record spans 2 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 768 disposed applications, he allowed 569, for an overall allowance rate of 74%. The allowance rate ranges from 54% to 81% across these art units. This aggregate record reflects decisions on applications in the technology center over the period covered; it does not predict outcomes on any individual application or art unit.
A pooled record aggregates data from multiple art units into a single overall figure. The 74% allowance rate describes past decisions on 768 applications across the examiner's art units in TC 2100. Because different art units may have different allowance rates, an aggregate figure masks variation. The range (54% to 81%) shows the breadth of that variation. Aggregate and per-unit figures are historical records, not predictions.
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 input/output (I/O) data transfer, and memory access and allocation.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 338 decided applications with an interview and 235 without.
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 48 decided applications with an interview and 147 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Nathan Sadler 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: 808 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.
