Examiner Sarai E Butler has allowed 1,237 of 1,376 decided applications (90%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Sarai E Butler maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 1,416 total applications, 1,237 were allowed and 139 were abandoned, yielding 1,376 disposed applications. The allowance rate is 90%, computed from allowed and abandoned applications only. This rate reflects the examiner's pooled record across a single art unit and does not constitute a prediction for any individual case.
This record aggregates the examiner's work across one art unit within TC 2100. Pooled figures describe historical dispositions and do not predict outcomes in any specific application. The allowance rate is a statistical summary of past decisions on applications that reached final disposition; it reflects what occurred, not what will occur in future prosecution.
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 error detection, correction, and monitoring.

A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 378 decided applications with an interview and 998 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Sarai E Butler 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: 1,416 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.
