Examiner Amy Ng has allowed 172 of 263 decided applications (65%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Amy Ng maintains a public record across four art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 263 disposed applications, she has allowed 172 and abandoned 91, for an overall allowance rate of 65%. The allowance rate varies across her art units, ranging from 22% to 87%. This pooled figure aggregates her performance across all four art units and reflects historical outcomes on decided applications only.
A pooled record combines results from multiple art units into a single aggregate figure. The overall allowance rate of 65% describes past outcomes across all units worked and is not a prediction for any particular application. Allowance rates vary among the individual art units; the range (22% to 87%) shows this variation but does not assign any specific rate to any specific unit. Pooled statistics describe historical data, not future case outcomes.
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 information retrieval and database structures.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 57 decided applications with an interview and 55 without.
Primarily examines information retrieval and database structures.
Primarily examines artificial-intelligence and machine-learning methods.
Based on 49 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Amy Ng 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: 263 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.
