Examiner Hang Pan has allowed 531 of 700 decided applications (76%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Hang Pan maintains a public record across two art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 700 disposed applications, the examiner's allowance rate stands at 76%, calculated from 531 allowed applications and 169 abandonments. This rate is the ratio of allowed to all decided applications in the pooled record. The allowance rate across the examiner's art units ranges from 65% to 82%, reflecting variation in outcomes across different subject-matter areas within TC 2100. The record spans art units 2193 and 2197.
This pooled record aggregates outcomes across multiple art units and represents historical disposition data only. Allowance rates describe past outcomes across decided applications and are not predictions for any specific case. An examiner's record typically varies across art units due to differences in technology, statutory requirements, and application complexity. The range shown reflects this internal variation. Pooled figures describe overall patterns and do not forecast any individual application's path.
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 software engineering, and error detection, correction, and monitoring.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Hang 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: 742 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.
