Examiner Steven B Theriault

What the data says.

Steven B Theriault holds a public record of 594 disposed applications across one art unit in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of those decided applications, 320 were allowed and 274 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 54%. This rate reflects the examiner's overall historical record across the pooled art unit. The disposed-application count excludes pending filings and measures only applications that have reached final disposition.

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates all art units under the examiner's jurisdiction. The 54% allowance rate describes past outcomes across 594 decided applications and is a historical measure only—not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Pooled figures mask variation among individual art units; granular per-art-unit data is published separately. Aggregate statistics characterize the record without implying uniform treatment across all subject matter within the technology center.

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 →
