// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Examiner Techane Gergiso maintains a record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security), spanning a single art unit. Across dozens of decided applications, the examiner's allowance rate is 79%. This figure represents the proportion of applications that were allowed or abandoned among all decided applications in the pooled record. The allowance rate is calculated from applications that reached a final disposition, excluding pending matters. This public record reflects the examiner's historical examination activity and does not constitute a prediction for any specific pending application.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This profile aggregates examination data across all art units where the examiner works. The allowance rate shown here is a historical aggregate—a snapshot of past decisions on applications that have concluded. Aggregate figures describe what occurred in the examiner's prior caseload and are not predictions about the outcome of any individual application. Applications vary widely in claim scope, technical content, and prosecution history, all of which affect individual results.

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 →

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Techane Gergiso 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 July 14, 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: 80 applications.

Rejection rates. Each §-rate is the share of this examiner's applications that drew at least one office-action rejection in which that statutory ground appears; applications with no rejection on record are excluded, and because grounds can co-occur the four do not sum to 100%. The art-unit figure beside each is the unweighted mean of the per-examiner rates across the art unit, published for §101 and §103 only. Beside the overall allowance rate we show a benchmark: for a single-art-unit examiner it is exactly that art unit's average, labeled “art-unit average”; for an examiner spanning several art units it is the “weighted peer average” — the per-art-unit averages, weighted by this examiner's application count in each — labeled distinctly because it is a blended figure, not any single art unit's average. Both are built from the same per-art-unit averages the panels show.

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.
