What the data says.

Stephen David Berman maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). His pooled record spans one art unit and covers 430 total applications. Of 396 disposed applications, 320 were allowed and 76 were abandoned. The allowance rate across these decided applications is 81 percent. This rate reflects outcomes on applications that have reached final disposition and does not include pending applications.

How to read these numbers.

This examiner's record aggregates dispositions across all assigned art units into a single pooled allowance rate. The 81 percent figure describes historical outcomes on decided applications and is not a prediction of outcome on any specific application. Aggregate statistics describe the past record only. Individual art-unit records, when available separately, may show variation from the pooled rate.

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 →
