What the data says.

Sheree N Brown maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security), spanning one art unit. Across 370 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 270 and abandoned 100, yielding a 73% allowance rate. This figure represents the share of decided applications in the pooled record and describes outcomes on cases already closed. The allowance rate is calculated from disposed applications only and does not include pending filings.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates all of the examiner's art units into a single allowance rate. The 73% figure describes historical outcomes across closed applications and is not predictive of any individual case. Aggregate statistics describe past disposition patterns and cannot forecast the result of a specific application. Different art units within TC 2100 may reflect different application volumes and outcomes; this pooled rate smooths those variations into one overall figure.

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 Sheree N Brown 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: 370 applications.

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.
