Examiner Gary Mac has allowed 8 of 20 decided applications (40%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Gary Mac holds a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security), spanning one art unit. Across 20 disposed applications, the allowance rate is 40%. Of 58 total applications in the record, 8 were allowed and 12 were abandoned. The allowance rate reflects only decided applications—pending cases are excluded from the calculation. This pooled figure aggregates the examiner's output across all assigned art units and describes the historical record without forecasting outcomes on any individual filing.
This pooled record aggregates multiple art units into a single allowance-rate figure. The 40% rate is calculated from decided applications only and represents past dispositions. Pooled statistics describe an examiner's aggregate output and are not predictions of how any specific application will be examined or decided. Individual art units may have different rates; per-unit detail appears separately on this profile.
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 neural-network / biological-model computing, and machine learning.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Gary Mac 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: 58 applications.
