Examiner Timothy M Bonura has allowed 127 of 142 decided applications (89%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Timothy M Bonura maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 142 disposed applications in art unit 2114, Bonura allowed 127 applications and abandoned 15, yielding an allowance rate of 89% of decided cases. This rate is calculated from applications with final dispositions (allowed or abandoned), excluding pending applications. The record spans a single art unit within TC 2100.
This pooled record aggregates data across one art unit and reflects historical dispositions only. The 89% allowance rate describes what occurred in past applications and is not a prediction of outcome for any specific pending case. Aggregate statistics represent patterns across many applications and do not determine the result of an individual filing. The figures serve as a factual reference to the examiner's public record.
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 →

A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 38 decided applications with an interview and 104 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Timothy M Bonura 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: 142 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.
