Examiner Robert Lewis Kulp has allowed 68 of 110 decided applications (62%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Robert Lewis Kulp maintains a public record across 2 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 110 disposed applications, the allowance rate is 62%, meaning 68 applications were allowed and 42 abandoned. This allowance rate reflects decided cases only and does not include any pending applications. The pooled figure aggregates Kulp's work across art units 2122 and 2124. The record is drawn from completed prosecution histories and represents the historical record as of the data collection date.
This profile reports Kulp's pooled allowance rate across multiple art units within TC 2100. Pooled records combine data from different art-unit groups and represent an aggregate of past decisions. The 62% figure describes historical outcomes across 110 decided applications and is not a prediction of the outcome of any individual application. Aggregate statistics do not control any specific case and reflect correlational, not causal, relationships.
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 40 decided applications with an interview and 25 without.
Primarily examines neural-network / biological-model computing, and machine learning.
Based on 45 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Robert Lewis Kulp 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: 110 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.
