// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Patent Examiner Ross Michael Vincent maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 66 total applications, 26 have been disposed (decided), yielding an allowance rate of 62% over that decided population. The examiner's practice spans a single art unit. This pooled record reflects outcomes on applications that have reached final disposition; pending applications are excluded from the allowance-rate calculation. The figures presented describe the examiner's historical record and do not forecast outcomes on any individual application.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This record aggregates data across all art units in which the examiner works. The allowance rate reflects only decided applications—those allowed or abandoned—and excludes cases still pending. A pooled, cross-unit record presents an aggregate view of past dispositions. Individual application outcomes depend on claim scope, prior art, and prosecution history and are not determined by historical aggregate rates. These statistics are correlational, not predictive.

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 →

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Ross Michael Vincent 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: 66 applications.

Lynch LLP is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Examiner statistics are derived from publicly available USPTO data.

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.
