Examiner Ryan Bertram has allowed 840 of 933 decided applications (90%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Ryan Bertram maintains a 90% allowance rate across 933 disposed applications in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). His public record spans three art units: 2112, 2137, and 2187. Of 957 total applications, 840 were allowed and 93 abandoned. The allowance rate represents a ratio of decided cases only and excludes pending matters. Allowance rates across the three art units range from 85% to 93%, reflecting variation in the examiner's record by subject area within TC 2100.
This record aggregates data across three separate art units within TC 2100. The pooled 90% allowance rate describes the examiner's historical record on decided applications and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Aggregate figures mask variation: individual art-unit rates range from 85% to 93%. Reading a cross-art-unit profile requires understanding that it combines different subject areas and prosecution patterns, and past aggregate rates do not determine future dispositions on 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.
Primarily examines input/output (I/O) data transfer, and memory access and allocation.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 182 decided applications with an interview and 426 without.
Primarily examines computer-aided design (CAD).
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 39 decided applications with an interview and 285 without.
Primarily examines error detection, correction, and monitoring, and error-correcting coding/decoding.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Ryan Bertram 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: 957 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.
