What the data says.

Zachary A Davis maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). His pooled record spans one art unit and covers 75 disposed applications. Of those 75 decided applications, 31 were allowed and 44 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 41%. This rate reflects the proportion of allowed applications among all decided cases in his record. The data presents a historical aggregate across his art units and does not predict outcomes in any individual application.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This examiner's pooled record aggregates all decided applications across his assigned art units. The overall allowance rate of 41% is a historical average calculated from all disposed applications and reflects past outcomes across multiple art units combined. Aggregate figures describe what has occurred in the record and are not predictions about how any future or pending application will be examined or decided. Individual art-unit data may reveal different patterns.

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 →
