Examiner Neil D Miles has allowed 129 of 151 decided applications (85%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Neil D Miles maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 151 disposed applications, 129 were allowed and 22 were abandoned, yielding an 85% allowance rate. His record spans a single art unit (2113). This pooled figure reflects decided applications only and does not include any pending matters. The allowance rate is a historical summary of applications already closed and is not a prediction of outcomes on future filings.
A pooled record aggregates data across all art units assigned to an examiner. This summary describes the past: applications already decided (allowed or abandoned). Aggregate allowance rates and disposal counts reflect historical performance but are not predictions of any specific application's outcome. Individual art units may show different patterns; details are available in per-art-unit sections.
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 error detection, correction, and monitoring.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 25 decided applications with an interview and 126 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Neil D Miles 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: 151 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.
