Examiner Sara M England has allowed 126 of 287 decided applications (44%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Sara M England maintains a public record across 4 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 287 disposed applications, she allowed 126 and abandoned 161, for an allowance rate of 44%. Allowance rates across her art units range from 41% to 45%. This pooled figure aggregates her record across multiple distinct art units and reflects outcomes on applications that reached final disposition—neither pending applications nor future filings.
A pooled record spans multiple art units and presents aggregate statistics. The overall allowance rate describes past outcomes across all of those units combined and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Comparing this figure to art-unit or technology-center averages provides context for the examiner's historical record, but such comparisons are descriptive only and do not forecast results on any individual 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.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 58 decided applications with an interview and 81 without.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 46 decided applications with an interview and 89 without.
Based on 7 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Sara M England 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: 287 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.
