// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Matthew Bryce Golan maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 47 total applications, 7 have been disposed of (decided). Of those 7 disposed applications, 0 were allowed, yielding an allowance rate of 0% over the decided count. The record spans 1 art unit. This pooled figure aggregates outcomes across that art unit and reflects the examiner's past dispositions. The allowance rate does not constitute a prediction of any specific application's outcome.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This record is pooled across all the examiner's art units within TC 2100. Aggregate statistics describe historical decisions and do not predict the outcome of any individual application. An allowance rate computed from a small disposed count may reflect limited decided volume and does not characterize the examiner's approach to particular claims, arguments, or amendments. Each application is examined on its own merits.

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 →

// BY ART UNIT

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Matthew Bryce Golan 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: 47 applications.

Lynch LLP is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Examiner statistics are derived from publicly available USPTO data.

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.
