// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Examiner Dongming Wang maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning 2 art units. Across 53 disposed applications, 42 were allowed and 11 abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 79%. This figure reflects the ratio of allowed applications to all decided applications in the examiner's pooled record. The record aggregates work across multiple art units, with each art unit potentially showing distinct patterns. This pooled allowance rate is a historical summary of dispositions and is not a prediction of outcome for any specific application.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates an examiner's dispositions across multiple art units into a single allowance rate. The 79% figure describes past decisions across all included art units combined and reflects the proportion of allowed applications among all decided cases. This aggregate does not predict how any particular application will be examined or decided. Individual art units may show different patterns; pooled statistics describe only the examiner's overall history.

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 →

// BY ART UNIT

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Dongming Wang 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: 53 applications.

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.
