Examiner Nicholas R Taylor has allowed 54 of 87 decided applications (62%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Nicholas R Taylor has a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). His pooled record spans one art unit. Across 87 disposed applications, he allowed 54 and 33 were abandoned, yielding a 62% allowance rate. The allowance rate reflects the ratio of allowed to decided applications (allowed plus abandoned) and does not represent the share of all filings received. This pooled figure aggregates his record across all art units in TC 2100.
A pooled record combines statistics across all art units in which an examiner works. The allowance rate describes the historical ratio of allowed to decided applications and is a summary of past dispositions. Pooled figures do not predict any individual application's outcome. To understand performance across specific art units, refer to per-art-unit data, which may show variation within the examiner's overall record.
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 artificial-intelligence and machine-learning methods.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Nicholas R Taylor 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: 87 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.
