Examiner Stephen M Baker has allowed 611 of 690 decided applications (89%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Stephen M Baker maintains an allowance rate of 89% across 690 disposed applications in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). His record spans two art units. The allowance rate reflects 611 allowed applications and 79 abandoned applications among all decided cases. Allowance rates across his art units range from 88% to 89%, indicating consistency across the different subject areas within TC 2100 in which he examines.
This pooled record aggregates data from multiple art units within TC 2100. The 89% allowance rate describes past dispositions across all his art units combined and is not a prediction of outcomes in any specific application. Pooled figures mask variation by art unit; applicants examining a single art unit's separate record may observe different rates. Historical statistics describe what occurred, not what will occur in any particular case.

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 error detection, correction, and monitoring, and error-correcting coding/decoding.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Stephen M Baker 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: 690 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.
