Examiner Piotr Poltorak has allowed 61 of 99 decided applications (62%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Piotr Poltorak maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 99 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 61 and abandoned 38, for an allowance rate of 62 percent. This figure represents the share of decided applications—those allowed or abandoned—and does not reflect pending matters. The examiner's practice spans a single art unit. The allowance rate is a historical measure of the examiner's record to date and is not a prediction of the outcome of any specific application.
A pooled record aggregates data across all of an examiner's art units, presenting an overall allowance rate and application volume. This aggregate describes the examiner's past decisions and does not forecast the disposition of any particular case. The allowance rate reflects only decided applications (allowed plus abandoned); it excludes pending filings. Pooled figures are useful as general context but do not account for variation within individual art units or across different claim types.
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 network security, and computer and data security.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 36 decided applications with an interview and 63 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Piotr Poltorak 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: 99 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.
