William P Bartlett maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 313 total applications, 287 have been disposed of—190 allowed and 97 abandoned. His allowance rate is 66% over the 287 decided applications. The record spans a single art unit, providing a pooled view of his examination activity in this technology center.

This pooled record aggregates examination activity across one art unit in TC 2100. The allowance rate of 66% describes past dispositions—applications that have been allowed or abandoned—and reflects the examiner's historical record. Pooled figures do not account for variations that may exist within individual art units, nor are they predictions of outcomes for pending or future applications. Aggregate statistics describe what has occurred, not what will occur.
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 →

A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 187 decided applications with an interview and 100 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner William P Bartlett 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: 313 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.
