Examiner Steven M Do has allowed 163 of 210 decided applications (78%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Steven M Do maintains a public record across two art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 210 disposed applications, the examiner issued allowances in 163 cases, yielding an allowance rate of 78%. The remaining 47 applications were abandoned. This pooled figure represents the examiner's overall record across both art units and reflects the outcomes of decided cases only, excluding any pending applications.
This pooled record aggregates data from two separate art units within TC 2100. The 78% allowance rate describes the examiner's past record across all decided applications in both units combined. Aggregate figures characterize historical outcomes and are not predictions of any specific application's fate. Different art units may carry different subject matter or prosecution patterns; individual art-unit records are available separately.
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 program control and execution.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 56 decided applications with an interview and 135 without.
Primarily examines program control and execution.
Based on 19 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Steven M Do 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: 210 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.
