Examiner Romney J Hogaboam has allowed 2 of 26 decided applications (8%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Romney J Hogaboam has a public record of 26 disposed applications across Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of these decided applications, 2 were allowed and 24 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 8%. This record spans 2 art units within TC 2100. The allowance rate reflects the ratio of allowed to all decided applications in the examiner's pooled history and does not constitute a prediction for any specific application.
This pooled record aggregates the examiner's work across multiple art units within TC 2100. The allowance rate of 8% is a historical average derived from 26 decided applications and describes past dispositions, not outcomes on any individual pending or future application. Cross-art-unit pooling combines different subject areas and examiner workflows; the aggregate figure provides context on the examiner's overall record but is not predictive of any particular case.
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.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Romney J Hogaboam 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: 26 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.
