Examiner Andrew N Ho has allowed 140 of 226 decided applications (62%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Andrew N Ho has a pooled allowance rate of 62% across 226 disposed applications in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). His record spans two art units. The allowance rate ranges from 56% to 90% across these art units, reflecting variation in the decided caseload composition. Of 254 total applications on record, 140 were allowed and 86 were abandoned. This pooled figure aggregates different art-unit records and describes the historical disposition rate without predicting outcomes on any specific application.
A pooled record aggregates results across multiple art units with potentially different subject matter and prosecution patterns. The overall allowance rate describes past dispositions and is not a prediction for any particular application. The range from minimum to maximum allowance rate among the examiner's art units indicates that individual art-unit records may differ materially from the pooled average. Applicants may review individual art-unit statistics for more granular context.
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.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Andrew N Ho 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: 254 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.
