Examiner Rong Tang has allowed 169 of 210 decided applications (80%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Patent Examiner Rong Tang holds a public record spanning 2 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 210 disposed applications, the examiner's allowance rate is 80%—representing 169 allowed applications and 41 abandoned applications. The record covers multiple art units within TC 2100, with allowance rates ranging from 69% to 83% across these units. This pooled figure aggregates outcomes across different subject areas and does not project results for any individual application.
A pooled, cross-art-unit record combines data from multiple art units into a single aggregate allowance rate. The 80% figure describes the examiner's historical outcome across all units combined. This aggregate is a descriptive statistic of past dispositions and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Individual art units may show different rates; the range (69% to 83%) reflects that variation, but the pooled rate is the examiner's overall record across TC 2100.
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.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 122 decided applications with an interview and 52 without.
Primarily examines control or regulating systems.
Based on 36 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Rong Tang 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: 230 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.
