Examiner Nicholas George Klicos has allowed 230 of 391 decided applications (59%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Nicholas George Klicos has a pooled allowance rate of 59% across 391 disposed applications in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). His public record spans four art units: 2118, 2142, 2144, and 2145. Among these art units, allowance rates range from 46% to 85%, reflecting variation in the composition and outcomes of applications across different subject areas within TC 2100. Of 434 total applications in his record, 230 were allowed and 161 were abandoned.
This profile aggregates Mr. Klicos's record across multiple art units within TC 2100. The pooled allowance rate of 59% describes historical outcomes on decided applications and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Variation across art units (46% to 85%) reflects different application volumes and mixes within each unit. Pooled figures describe past record; individual applications are examined on their merits.
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 neural-network / biological-model computing, and machine learning.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 152 decided applications with an interview and 85 without.

Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 42 decided applications with an interview and 16 without.
Based on 16 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Nicholas George Klicos 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: 434 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.
