Examiner Ronald Baum has allowed 96 of 121 decided applications (79%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Ronald Baum's public record spans Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) across four art units: 2131, 2135, 2136, and 2139. Over 121 disposed applications, he allowed 96 and abandoned 25, for an allowance rate of 79%. This figure describes the proportion of decided applications in his pooled record and reflects outcomes across all four art units combined. The record encompasses only completed dispositions; pending applications are excluded from this calculation.
This pooled record aggregates outcomes across four distinct art units within TC 2100. The allowance rate of 79% is a historical aggregate and does not predict the outcome of any individual application. Pooled figures mask variation among art units—each unit may have different allowance rates, applicant profiles, and claim complexity. This summary describes past dispositions only and is correlational data, not causal.
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 Ronald Baum 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: 121 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.
