Examiner Samson B Lemma has allowed 127 of 169 decided applications (75%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Samson B Lemma maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 169 disposed applications, the allowance rate is 75%, with 127 applications allowed and 42 abandoned. The examiner's record spans a single art unit. This aggregate figure represents the examiner's historical record across decided applications and does not indicate the outcome of any particular filing.
This pooled record aggregates examination activity across all art units under which the examiner has worked. The 75% allowance rate describes the proportion of decided applications (allowed and abandoned combined) over a defined historical period. Aggregate figures describe past record only and are not predictions about specific applications. Individual art-unit records, if available separately, may show variation from the pooled 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, and memory access and allocation.

A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 40 decided applications with an interview and 129 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Samson B Lemma 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: 169 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.
