What the data says.

Nicholas F Woronko maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 22 disposed applications, he has allowed 5 and abandoned 17, yielding an allowance rate of 23% over the decided count. His practice spans a single art unit (2169). This pooled record reflects outcomes on applications that have reached final disposition; it does not include pending matters. The 23% allowance rate is calculated from decided applications only and does not represent a share of all filings.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates dispositions across all art units under an examiner's management. The allowance rate describes past outcomes on decided applications and reflects historical data only. Aggregate figures do not predict the outcome of any individual application, as each case presents distinct claim scope, prior art, and prosecution history. Pooled statistics are descriptive of the examiner's overall record and serve as context for understanding patterns across their practice.

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 →

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Nicholas F Woronko 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: 22 applications.

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.
