What the data says.

Scott B Christensen's public record spans Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) and encompasses one art unit. Over 34 disposed applications, he allowed 4 and abandoned 30, yielding a 12% allowance rate. This allowance rate reflects the ratio of allowed applications to all decided applications (allowed plus abandoned) in his pooled record. The figure describes his historical disposition pattern and does not predict outcomes in any specific case.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates Christensen's decisions across all his art units in TC 2100. The 12% allowance rate is a historical summary of all decided applications and reflects past decisions only. Allowance rates are correlational snapshots of prior work and are not predictive of any individual application's outcome. Pooled figures mask variation within individual art units and do not forecast any specific prosecution path.

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 →

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Scott B Christensen 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: 34 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.
