What the data says.

Aaron N Strange maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across his pooled record, 95 applications have been disposed. Of those disposed applications, 40 were allowed and 55 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 42%. This record spans a single art unit. The allowance rate reflects the ratio of allowed to all decided applications in the examiner's pooled history and does not constitute a prediction for any specific application.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates outcomes across all art units under which the examiner has authority. The allowance rate of 42% describes the examiner's historical record—the share of decided applications that resulted in allowance—and reflects past dispositions only. Pooled figures do not account for variations by art unit, technology, or application complexity, and they are not predictions of outcomes in individual cases.

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 →

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Aaron N Strange 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: 95 applications.

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.
