Examiner Terrell S Johnson has allowed 589 of 662 decided applications (89%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Terrell S Johnson maintains a public record spanning 4 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 662 disposed applications, the examiner's allowance rate is 89%. The allowance rate—the percentage of decided applications that were allowed—reflects 589 allowed applications and 73 abandoned applications. Allowance rates across the examiner's art units range from 74% to 97%, reflecting variation in outcomes within TC 2100. This pooled record aggregates decisions across multiple art units and represents historical dispositions only.
A pooled, cross-art-unit record aggregates an examiner's decisions across several art units into a single profile. The overall allowance rate describes what percentage of decided cases were allowed historically. Variation in the range (74% to 97%) reflects differences in outcomes among individual art units within the examiner's portfolio. These figures describe past record only and are not predictions of outcomes in any specific application or art unit.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Terrell S Johnson 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: 688 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.
