Examiner Sergio Jose Curbelo Iii has allowed 50 of 91 decided applications (55%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Sergio Jose Curbelo Iii maintains a public record across 2 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 91 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 50 and abandoned 41, resulting in an allowance rate of 55%. This pooled figure represents all decided applications across both art units and reflects the examiner's aggregate disposition history in this technology center.
This record aggregates results across multiple art units, creating a single allowance rate figure. Pooled rates describe past dispositions and do not predict outcomes in any specific application. Individual art units may vary in allowance patterns; per-art-unit breakdowns appear separately. Aggregate statistics show historical disposal activity but are not predictive tools for individual cases.
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 software engineering, and error detection, correction, and monitoring.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 50 decided applications with an interview and 39 without.
Primarily examines information retrieval and database structures.
Based on 2 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Sergio Jose Curbelo Iii 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: 91 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.
