Examiner Herng Der Day has allowed 202 of 337 decided applications (60%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Herng Der Day maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 337 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 202 and abandoned 135, for an allowance rate of 60%. This rate is based on decided applications only; pending applications are excluded from the calculation. The examiner's record spans one art unit, providing a pooled view of examination activity in this technology center. The figures reflect historical outcomes and do not predict the disposition of any future application.
This pooled record aggregates examination data across the examiner's art unit(s) in TC 2100. The 60% allowance rate describes past outcomes across 337 decided applications and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Pooled figures smooth variance across art units and reflect overall historical performance. Each new application presents its own claim set, prior art, and examination circumstances. Aggregate statistics are correlational summaries only and do not establish causation or predict individual results.
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 machine learning, and neural-network / biological-model computing.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 126 decided applications with an interview and 211 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Herng Der Day 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: 337 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.
