Examiner Daniel H Pan has allowed 536 of 590 decided applications (91%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Daniel H Pan maintains a public record of 590 disposed applications across 2 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of these decided applications, 536 were allowed and 54 abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 91%. The allowance rate across his art units ranges from 80% to 97%, reflecting variation in the outcomes recorded within individual art units over the periods examined.
This pooled record aggregates data across multiple art units within TC 2100. The overall allowance rate of 91% describes the examiner's past record on decided applications and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. The range of 80% to 97% illustrates variation among individual art units; aggregate figures do not forecast results in any particular unit or case.
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 Daniel H Pan 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: 590 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.
