Examiner Tyler J Schallhorn has allowed 95 of 271 decided applications (35%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Tyler J Schallhorn's public record spans four art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 271 decided applications, the examiner issued allowances in 95 cases, resulting in an overall allowance rate of 35%. The allowance rate varies across the examiner's art units, ranging from 29% to 58%. This pooled figure represents the examiner's aggregate record and does not describe the rate for any single art unit or predict outcomes in individual applications.
This profile aggregates the examiner's record across multiple art units in TC 2100. The overall allowance rate (35% of 271 decided applications) reflects a pooled average and does not apply uniformly to each art unit. The stated range (29% to 58%) shows variation across individual units. These historical statistics describe past decisions and are not predictions about any specific application's outcome.
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 general computer details, and program control and execution.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 86 decided applications with an interview and 51 without.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 28 decided applications with an interview and 46 without.
Based on 27 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Tyler J Schallhorn 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: 299 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.
