Examiner Ryan A Dare has allowed 504 of 659 decided applications (76%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Ryan A Dare maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning three art units. Across 659 decided applications, his allowance rate is 76%, with 504 allowed and 155 abandoned. The allowance rate ranges from 63% to 94% across his art units, reflecting variation in the composition and outcomes of cases within TC 2100. This pooled figure aggregates his work across all three units and describes his historical record without predicting any individual application's outcome.
A pooled, cross-art-unit record combines the examiner's results across multiple art units into a single aggregate figure. The overall allowance rate reflects past decisions on all applications within that grouping and is not a prediction of how any particular application will be examined or decided. The range across art units indicates variation among the separate units but does not identify which specific unit produced which rate.
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 input/output (I/O) data transfer.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Ryan A Dare 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: 707 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.
