// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Examiner Skieler Alexander Kowalik maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security), spanning one art unit. Across 11 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 3 and abandoned 8, yielding an allowance rate of 27%. The examiner has handled 41 total applications on record. The allowance rate reflects decisions made on applications that reached final disposition; pending applications are excluded from this calculation. This pooled record aggregates activity within the single art unit of jurisdiction.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates all decided applications across the examiner's assigned art units. The allowance rate of 27% describes the examiner's historical record of allowed versus abandoned applications and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Aggregate statistics describe past decisions but do not determine the result in any individual case. Application-specific outcomes depend on claim scope, prior art, and examination history.

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 Skieler Alexander Kowalik 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: 41 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.
