Examiner Mark A Gooray has allowed 386 of 488 decided applications (79%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Mark A Gooray maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning two art units. Across 488 decided applications, the allowance rate stands at 79%. The allowance rate ranges from 73% to 80% across these art units, reflecting variation in the composition of applications examined within each unit. The examiner has allowed 386 applications and seen 102 abandoned. These figures describe the examiner's historical record and do not predict outcomes for any specific application.
This profile aggregates the examiner's record across multiple art units within TC 2100. The overall allowance rate reflects the pooled result of applications examined across different art-unit dockets. Aggregate figures describe past dispositions and are not predictions for any individual case. Per-art-unit detail, where available separately, may show variation. These statistics are historical data only.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Mark A Gooray 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: 517 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.
