Examiner Phenuel S Salomon has allowed 577 of 796 decided applications (72%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Phenuel S Salomon maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning five art units (2146, 2171, 2173, 2178, 2179). Across 796 decided applications, the examiner's allowance rate is 72%. Of the 824 total applications in the examiner's record, 577 were allowed and 219 were abandoned. The allowance rate varies across the examiner's art units, ranging from 34% to 91%. This pooled figure aggregates outcomes across all five art units where the examiner maintains a substantial record.
This page reports the examiner's pooled record across multiple art units in TC 2100. The aggregate allowance rate of 72% reflects the combined outcomes across all five art units and describes the historical record, not a prediction about any specific application. Because different art units cover different subject matter within the technology center, applicants may find the per-art-unit breakdown (available separately) more relevant to their particular technology.
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 221 decided applications with an interview and 319 without.
Primarily examines artificial-intelligence and machine-learning methods.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Phenuel S Salomon 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: 824 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.
