Examiner Randall Kern Baldwin has allowed 212 of 260 decided applications (82%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Randall Kern Baldwin maintains a public record across 2 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 260 disposed applications, the examiner issued allowances in 212 cases, for an allowance rate of 82%. The record spans art units 2122 and 2125. Forty-eight applications were abandoned. This pooled figure reflects the examiner's overall record across both art units and describes past outcomes only, not any individual pending application.
This pooled record aggregates the examiner's work across multiple art units within TC 2100. The allowance rate of 82% describes applications already decided (allowed or abandoned) and reflects historical outcomes only. Pooled figures do not isolate performance by art unit or predict outcomes in any specific application. Per-art-unit detail, where available separately, may reveal variation by subject matter within the technology center.
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.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 163 decided applications with an interview and 96 without.
Primarily examines neural-network / biological-model computing, and machine learning.
Based on 1 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Randall Kern Baldwin 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: 286 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.
