Examiner Stefan Stoynov has allowed 1,214 of 1,332 decided applications (91%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Stefan Stoynov maintains a public record across three art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 1,332 disposed applications, the overall allowance rate is 91%. This figure reflects 1,214 allowed applications and 118 abandoned applications. The allowance rate ranges from 88% to 98% across the three art units where the examiner maintains a substantial record, reflecting variation in the decided outcomes within the technology center.
A pooled record aggregates outcomes across multiple art units into a single overall figure. The 91% allowance rate describes the examiner's past record of decided cases across all three art units combined. This aggregate figure is a historical snapshot and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Art-unit-level rates may differ from the overall pooled rate; those appear in separate detail pages.
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 control or regulating systems.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Stefan Stoynov 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: 1,348 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.
