Examiner Paul Coleman has allowed 10 of 15 decided applications (67%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Paul Coleman's public record spans Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) across one art unit. Over 15 disposed applications, he issued 10 allowances, for an allowance rate of 67%. The record reflects 46 total applications received, of which 5 were abandoned. This pooled allowance rate describes his past dispositions and does not predict outcomes in any specific application. The single art unit served by this examiner is art unit 2126.
This profile aggregates Paul Coleman's record across one art unit in TC 2100. Pooled figures combine all decisions within that unit into a single allowance rate, which reflects historical dispositions rather than a forecast for individual cases. The allowance rate is calculated from decided applications (allowed plus abandoned), excluding pending filings. Applicants review pooled data to understand an examiner's overall record; individual application outcomes depend on claim scope, prior art, and examiner analysis of the specific case.
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.
Based on 46 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Paul Coleman 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: 46 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.
