Examiner Troy A Maust has allowed 93 of 119 decided applications (78%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Troy A Maust maintains a public record across 2 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of 119 disposed applications, 93 were allowed, yielding an allowance rate of 78%. The allowance rate ranges from 75% to 82% across his art units. In total, 143 applications have been filed before this examiner, with 26 abandoned and outcomes pending on the remainder. This pooled figure represents the aggregate record across both art units and does not reflect performance within any single art unit.
This pooled record aggregates data from multiple art units and reflects historical dispositions only. The 78% allowance rate describes applications already decided—allowed or abandoned—and is not a forecast of any future application. Allowance rates vary across art units (75% to 82%), and any single application's path is independent of these aggregate statistics. Pooled figures describe the past record and cannot predict outcomes in specific cases or art units.
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 →

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Troy A Maust 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: 143 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.
