Examiner Vincent Gonzales has allowed 480 of 600 decided applications (80%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Vincent Gonzales maintains a public record across three art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 600 disposed applications, his allowance rate is 80%. This rate reflects decided applications—those allowed or abandoned—and does not include pending filings. The allowance rate ranges from 70% to 84% across his art units, indicating variation in disposition patterns by subject matter within the technology center.
This pooled record aggregates data across multiple art units and reflects the examiner's historical dispositions. An aggregate allowance rate describes past decisions across a portfolio of applications and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Cross-art-unit records show that allowance rates may differ by art unit, and the range provided reflects that variation in the examiner's record.
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 Gonzales 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: 639 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.
