Examiner Simon Fischer Ellis has allowed 11 of 23 decided applications (48%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
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.
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 →
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.
Based on 23 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
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.

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.
