Examiner Rongfa Philip Wang has allowed 872 of 983 decided applications (89%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Rongfa Philip Wang maintains a public record across three art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 983 decided applications, the examiner's allowance rate is 89%. The allowance rate—the percentage of applications allowed or abandoned among those with a final disposition—is based on 872 allowed and 111 abandoned applications. Across the three art units, allowance rates range from 72% to 95%, reflecting variation in the examiner's record within TC 2100.
This record aggregates an examiner's performance across multiple art units within a single technology center. Pooled figures describe historical outcomes across all assigned art units combined. An aggregate allowance rate is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome and does not account for differences in application quality, examiner assignment patterns, or case-specific circumstances. Individual art-unit records may vary.
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 software engineering, and program control and execution.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Rongfa Philip Wang 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: 1,015 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.
