Examiner David Ton has allowed 931 of 990 decided applications (94%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
David Ton has a public record of 990 disposed applications across 3 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of those decided applications, 931 were allowed, yielding an allowance rate of 94%. The allowance rate ranges from 91% to 97% across these art units. This pooled figure represents his aggregate record and reflects outcomes across the breadth of his examination activity in TC 2100.
A pooled record aggregates data from multiple art units into a single profile. The allowance rate shown here—94% over 990 disposed applications—describes the examiner's past record across all assigned art units combined. This aggregate figure is historical and does not predict the outcome of any specific application. Individual art units may have different allowance rates; the range displayed (91% to 97%) reflects that variation.
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 control or regulating systems.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 16 decided applications with an interview and 711 without.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner David Ton 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: 990 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.
