What the data says.

Simon Fischer Ellis maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 23 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 11 and 12 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 48%. The record spans a single art unit. This allowance rate reflects the ratio of allowed to decided applications and does not constitute a prediction for any specific case. The figures represent historical dispositions and remain subject to the full record of each individual application's prosecution.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates data across the examiner's art units and reflects past dispositions only. The overall allowance rate is a summary statistic describing what occurred in closed applications and is not a forecast for any pending or future case. When reviewing an examiner's record, distinguish between aggregate figures (which describe historical volume and rates) and individual application outcomes (which depend on claim scope, prior art, and prosecution conduct).

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 →

// BY ART UNIT

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Simon Fischer Ellis 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: 23 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.
