Examiner Stanley K Hill has allowed 320 of 382 decided applications (84%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Stanley K Hill has a public record across 3 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of 382 disposed applications, 320 were allowed, yielding an 84% allowance rate. The allowance rate ranges from 81% to 89% across the examiner's art units. This pooled record spans art units 2121, 2126, and 2129 within TC 2100. The data reflects decided applications only; pending applications are excluded from the allowance-rate calculation.
This pooled record aggregates the examiner's work across multiple art units within TC 2100. The 84% allowance rate describes the share of decided applications (allowed or abandoned) across all units combined, and is historical—a summary of past dispositions. Individual art units may show different rates. Pooled figures do not function as predictions of any specific application's outcome.
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.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Stanley K Hill 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: 382 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.
