Examiner Schyler S Sanks has allowed 104 of 128 decided applications (81%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Schyler S Sanks maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 179 total applications, 128 applications have been disposed. Of those 128 decided applications, 104 were allowed and 24 were abandoned, resulting in an 81% allowance rate. The examiner's practice covers a single art unit (2129).

This record aggregates all applications handled by the examiner within TC 2100 across the single art unit in their portfolio. The allowance rate and application counts describe historical outcomes and are not predictions of any specific application's outcome. Pooled figures reflect aggregate behavior and do not indicate how any particular case will be examined or decided. Individual applications vary in complexity, claim scope, and prior art.
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 neural-network / biological-model computing, and machine learning.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 42 decided applications with an interview and 86 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Schyler S Sanks 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: 179 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.
