What the data says.

Timothy A Mudrick maintains a public record of 846 total applications across 2 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of 798 disposed applications, 700 were allowed, yielding an overall allowance rate of 88%. The allowance rate ranges from 85% to 98% across these art units. This pooled figure aggregates the examiner's record in art units 2194 and 2198 and describes historical dispositions only, without prediction of outcomes in any pending or future application.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record combines allowance statistics from multiple art units into a single aggregate figure. The 88% rate reflects past decisions across all art units where this examiner has a substantial record. Pooled rates describe what has occurred, not what will occur in any specific case. Individual art units may have different rates; this overall profile masks that variation and is suitable for general reference only.

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 →

// BY ART UNIT

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Timothy A Mudrick 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: 846 applications.

Lynch LLP is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Examiner statistics are derived from publicly available USPTO data.

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.
