Examiner Zachary Andrew Cain has allowed 18 of 23 decided applications (78%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Zachary Andrew Cain maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 59 total applications, 23 have been disposed of (allowed or abandoned). Of those 23 decided applications, 18 were allowed, yielding an allowance rate of 78%. The examiner's record spans one art unit. This pooled figure reflects past outcomes across all examined applications in the technology center and does not predict results in any individual case.
This pooled record aggregates applications across one art unit within TC 2100. The 78% allowance rate is computed from 23 decided applications (allowed and abandoned combined) and describes what has occurred, not what will occur in future prosecution. Pooled figures mask variation across different art units and application types. For art-unit–specific data, consult that examiner's per-unit profile.
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 control or regulating systems.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Zachary Andrew Cain 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: 59 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.
