Examiner Tonia Lynn Meonske Dollinger has allowed 79 of 122 decided applications (65%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Tonia Lynn Meonske Dollinger maintains a public record across 2 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 122 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 79 and abandoned 43, yielding an allowance rate of 65% of decided cases. This pooled figure represents the examiner's aggregate record across both art units and reflects outcomes on applications that have reached final disposition. The record does not include pending applications.
This pooled record aggregates data across multiple art units within TC 2100. The 65% allowance rate describes past decisions on closed applications and is a statistical summary, not a predictor of any individual application's outcome. Aggregate figures reflect historical dispositions across different subject areas and examiner assignments. Individual art-unit records, where available separately, may show variation from this pooled rate.

A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 25 decided applications with an interview and 84 without.
Primarily examines program control and execution.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Tonia Lynn Meonske Dollinger 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: 122 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.
