Examiner Paul A Baker has allowed 94 of 98 decided applications (96%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Paul A Baker maintains a public record across 2 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). His pooled record spans 98 disposed applications, of which 94 were allowed and 4 were abandoned. The allowance rate across these decided applications is 96%. This figure represents the examiner's historical record across all assigned art units and does not constitute a prediction for any specific pending application.
This profile aggregates the examiner's record across multiple art units within TC 2100. The allowance rate of 96% describes the share of decided applications (allowed plus abandoned) from the examiner's past decisions. Pooled figures mask variation among individual art units and reflect historical outcomes only—they are not predictions for any particular application and do not indicate how any future case will be examined or decided.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Paul A Baker 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: 98 applications.
