Examiner Vincent F Boccio has allowed 626 of 760 decided applications (82%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Vincent F Boccio has a public record of 760 disposed applications across 4 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of those decided applications, 626 were allowed, yielding an overall allowance rate of 82%. The examiner's allowance rate ranges from 67% to 90% across these art units. This pooled figure represents the aggregate record across all four art units and reflects historical dispositions rather than a prediction for any specific pending application.
This pooled record aggregates decisions from multiple art units within TC 2100, combining different subject areas and examination histories into a single figure. The 82% allowance rate describes past dispositions across 760 decided applications. Pooled statistics do not predict outcomes on any individual application, nor do they account for differences in claim scope, prior art, or prosecution strategy among cases. The range of rates across art units reflects variation in those separate workstreams.
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.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Vincent F Boccio 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: 760 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.
