Examiner Tyler Dean Hedrick has allowed 79 of 86 decided applications (92%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Patent Examiner Tyler Dean Hedrick maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 87 total applications, 79 were allowed and 7 abandoned, for a pooled allowance rate of 92% over 86 disposed applications. His record spans a single art unit (2115). This allowance rate reflects the proportion of decided cases resulting in allowance—not a measure of applications currently pending. The data presented represents historical dispositions and does not constitute a prediction for any specific application.
This pooled record aggregates all dispositions across the examiner's art units. The 92% allowance rate describes the examiner's past record: the percentage of applications that were either allowed or abandoned, calculated from 86 total decided cases. Because this is an aggregate figure spanning the examiner's entire history in TC 2100, it reflects historical outcomes only and is not a prediction of the result in any particular application or case.
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 →
Each section benchmarks this examiner against that art unit's average. Figures are this examiner's own public record within the art unit; the overall rate above pools them.
Primarily examines control or regulating systems, and electric power networks.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 43 decided applications with an interview and 43 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Tyler Dean Hedrick 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: 87 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.
