Examiner Tionna M Burke has allowed 243 of 450 decided applications (54%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Tionna M Burke maintains a public record across 2 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Her pooled allowance rate stands at 54% over 450 disposed applications. The allowance rate ranges from 47% to 71% across these art units, reflecting variation in outcomes between the different art units in her assigned portfolio.

A pooled record aggregates results from multiple art units into one overall figure. The 54% allowance rate describes past outcomes across all assigned art units combined and reflects historical disposal patterns. This aggregate statistic does not predict the outcome of any specific application. Individual art units may have different allowance rates; the pooled rate shows the overall pattern across her entire assigned portfolio.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Tionna M Burke 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: 504 applications.
