Examiner Susan F Rayyan has allowed 319 of 418 decided applications (76%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Susan F Rayyan maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning two art units. Across 418 disposed applications, her allowance rate is 76%. The allowance rate ranges from 76% to 85% across these art units. This pooled figure represents applications that were either allowed or abandoned; pending applications are excluded from the calculation. The record reflects decided cases accumulated across both art units in this technology center.
A pooled record aggregates data across multiple art units, presenting an overall allowance rate from all disposed applications combined. This aggregate figure describes the historical record only and is not a prediction of any specific application's outcome. Different art units within the same technology center may have varying allowance rates due to differences in subject matter, application volume, or other factors. The range shown reflects the variation among the examiner's individual art units.
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 information retrieval and database structures.

A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 146 decided applications with an interview and 246 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Susan F Rayyan 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: 418 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.
