Examiner Sidney Vincent Bostwick has allowed 77 of 144 decided applications (53%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Sidney Vincent Bostwick maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 230 total applications, 144 have been disposed of (decided). Of those decided applications, 77 were allowed and 67 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 53% over the disposed count. The examiner's work spans a single art unit. This pooled record represents the examiner's overall performance across all art units in TC 2100 and describes past outcomes only.
This pooled record aggregates all of the examiner's art units into a single allowance-rate figure. The 53% allowance rate describes the share of decided applications (allowed plus abandoned) that issued over the examiner's entire caseload. Aggregate figures reflect historical outcomes and are not predictions about any specific application. Individual art units may carry different rates; those are available in the per-art-unit section.
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 neural-network / biological-model computing, and machine learning.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 96 decided applications with an interview and 48 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Sidney Vincent Bostwick 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: 230 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.
