Examiner Jane Wei Benner has allowed 330 of 380 decided applications (87%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Jane Wei Benner has a public record spanning 2 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 380 disposed applications, she issued 330 allowances, resulting in an 87% allowance rate. The allowance rate ranges from 71% to 93% across her art units. Her total application record includes 401 applications, with 50 abandonments. These figures reflect past dispositions and do not predict outcomes in any individual case.
This record aggregates dispositions across multiple art units within TC 2100. The pooled allowance rate describes historical disposal outcomes, not a forecast for any specific application. Allowance rates can vary by art unit; the range shown reflects that variation. Pooled statistics combine different technological areas and examination patterns and are correlational only—they describe what occurred, not what will occur in any particular case.
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.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Jane Wei Benner 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: 401 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.
