Examiner Daeho D Song has allowed 285 of 471 decided applications (61%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Daeho D Song maintains a public record across five art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 471 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 285 and abandoned 186, yielding an overall allowance rate of 61%. Across the examiner's art units—2141, 2172, 2175, 2176, and 2177—allowance rates range from 36% to 87%. This span reflects variation in outcomes across the different areas of TC 2100 in which the examiner has worked. The pooled figure of 61% represents the aggregate record and does not predict the outcome of any individual application.
This profile aggregates the examiner's record across multiple art units within TC 2100. Pooled figures describe past disposition history and the breadth of the examiner's practice. The 61% allowance rate reflects 285 allowed decisions among 471 total decided applications and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. The range of 36% to 87% across art units shows variation but does not identify which rate applies to any particular submission or art unit.
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 artificial-intelligence and machine-learning methods.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 180 decided applications with an interview and 109 without.
Primarily examines general computer details, and program control and execution.
Primarily examines general computer details, and program control and execution.
Based on 18 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Daeho D Song 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: 471 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.
