Examiner Andy Ho has allowed 1,418 of 1,572 decided applications (90%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Andy Ho maintains a pooled record across two art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over a total of 1,599 applications, 1,418 have been allowed and 154 abandoned, for a total of 1,572 disposed applications. The allowance rate stands at 90% of those decided applications. The examiner's record spans art units 2126 and 2194, with the pooled figures reflecting combined activity across both units.
This pooled record aggregates data from two separate art units within TC 2100. The 90% allowance rate describes the proportion of decided applications—allowed plus abandoned—across the examiner's total portfolio to date. Pooled figures represent historical activity and are not predictions about any specific application. For art-unit-specific detail, refer to the separate per-unit section.
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 program control and execution.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 314 decided applications with an interview and 1,245 without.
Primarily examines neural-network / biological-model computing, and machine learning.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Andy 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: 1,599 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.
