Examiner Russell L Guill has allowed 326 of 543 decided applications (60%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Russell L Guill has a public record across 4 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of 543 disposed applications, 326 were allowed, yielding an overall allowance rate of 60%. The allowance rate across his art units ranges from 55% to 89%, reflecting variation in the record by subject matter and art unit. This pooled figure aggregates his record across all four art units and describes historical outcomes on decided cases.
This record is pooled across multiple art units, meaning it combines allowance data from different subject areas within TC 2100. The aggregate allowance rate (60% of 543 decided cases) describes past outcomes and is not a prediction of any specific application. The range of 55% to 89% shows that allowance rates vary by art unit. Pooled figures offer a broad view but do not isolate performance in any single art unit.
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 139 decided applications with an interview and 283 without.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Russell L Guill 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: 543 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.
