Examiner Danny Chan has allowed 385 of 476 decided applications (81%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Danny Chan has disposed of 476 applications across 4 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of those decided applications, 385 were allowed, yielding an overall allowance rate of 81%. The examiner's allowance rate across individual art units ranges from 75% to 86%. This pooled figure reflects the aggregate record spanning art units 2115, 2116, 2175, and 2186 and does not break down performance by individual unit.
A pooled record aggregates data across multiple art units and represents the examiner's historical allowance rate on decided cases. The 81% figure describes past dispositions and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. The range (75% to 86%) reflects variation among individual art units but does not identify which unit produced which rate. Pooled statistics are useful for understanding overall patterns; individual art-unit records provide more granular detail.
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 Danny Chan 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: 507 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.
