Examiner Sean D Rossiter has allowed 891 of 970 decided applications (92%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Sean D Rossiter has a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning 2 art units. Of 970 disposed applications, 891 were allowed, yielding a 92% allowance rate. The allowance rate ranges from 81% to 95% across these art units. This pooled figure represents the aggregate outcome of decided cases—allowed and abandoned applications combined—and does not include pending matters. The range reflects variation in allowance rates among the individual art units within the examiner's portfolio.
This record aggregates the examiner's performance across multiple art units in TC 2100. The 92% pooled allowance rate describes historical outcomes on decided applications and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. The range (81% to 95%) shows how allowance rates differ among the individual art units but does not identify which rate applies to any particular unit. Pooled figures are useful as a general reference to the examiner's historical record across the technology center.
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.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Sean D Rossiter 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: 982 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.
