Examiner Scott T Baderman has allowed 107 of 155 decided applications in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Scott T Baderman maintains a pooled allowance rate of 69% across hundreds of decided applications in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). His record spans 5 art units within this technology center. The allowance rate ranges from 4% to 95% across these art units, reflecting variation in the composition and outcomes of applications examined across different subject-matter areas within TC 2100. This pooled figure represents the percentage of applications that were allowed among all decided (allowed and abandoned) applications in his record.
A pooled record aggregates outcomes across multiple art units and technology-center areas. The overall allowance rate (69%) describes past outcomes across all decided applications combined and is not a prediction of any specific application's future disposition. The range (4% to 95%) indicates substantial variation among individual art units. Detailed per-art-unit records, where available separately, may differ significantly from the pooled figure and provide more granular context for applications in particular subject areas.
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.
Grounds can co-occur, so the four don't sum to 100%. The art-unit figure is the unweighted mean across examiners in the art unit; §102 and §112 carry no art-unit benchmark.
Based on 33 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Scott T Baderman 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 July 14, 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: 173 applications.
Rejection rates. Each §-rate is the share of this examiner's applications that drew at least one office-action rejection in which that statutory ground appears; applications with no rejection on record are excluded, and because grounds can co-occur the four do not sum to 100%. The art-unit figure beside each is the unweighted mean of the per-examiner rates across the art unit, published for §101 and §103 only. Beside the overall allowance rate we show a benchmark: for a single-art-unit examiner it is exactly that art unit's average, labeled “art-unit average”; for an examiner spanning several art units it is the “weighted peer average” — the per-art-unit averages, weighted by this examiner's application count in each — labeled distinctly because it is a blended figure, not any single art unit's average. Both are built from the same per-art-unit averages the panels show.

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.
