Examiner Nicholas Hasty has allowed 185 of 352 decided applications (53%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Nicholas Hasty maintains a public record across three art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of 352 disposed applications, 185 were allowed, yielding an allowance rate of 53%. The examiner's allowance rates range from 49% to 68% across the art units in the record. This pooled figure aggregates outcomes across distinct subject-matter areas and does not reflect performance in any single art unit.
A pooled record combines data from multiple art units, each with potentially different technologies and applicant populations. The aggregate allowance rate describes past outcomes across all units together and does not constitute a prediction for any specific application. The range shown reflects variation among the individual art units; any particular application may fall within or outside that historical distribution.
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.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 114 decided applications with an interview and 170 without.
Primarily examines artificial-intelligence and machine-learning methods.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 31 decided applications with an interview and 26 without.
Based on 11 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 Hasty 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: 387 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.
