What the data says.

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.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

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 →
