Examiner Theodore E Hebert has allowed 380 of 495 decided applications (77%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Theodore E Hebert maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning 2 art units. Across 495 disposed applications, his allowance rate is 77%, representing 380 allowed and 115 abandoned applications. The allowance rate ranges from 75% to 81% across his art units. This pooled figure aggregates his record across both TC 2100 units and describes his historical disposal pattern without predicting outcomes in any specific case.
A pooled record aggregates an examiner's performance across multiple art units in a single technology center. The overall allowance rate reflects the examiner's past decisions on all disposed applications combined. This aggregate statistic describes historical output only and is not a prediction of how any individual application will be decided. Individual art units may show variation; the range provided indicates the spread of allowance rates among them.
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 software engineering, and program control and execution.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Theodore E Hebert 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: 531 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.
