Examiner Van C Mang has allowed 203 of 267 decided applications (76%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Van C Mang maintains a public record across 2 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 303 total applications, 203 were allowed and 64 abandoned, yielding 267 disposed applications. The allowance rate stands at 76% of decided applications. This pooled figure reflects the examiner's aggregate record across the art units covered and does not indicate outcomes for any specific application or predict prosecution results.
This profile aggregates Van C Mang's record across multiple art units within TC 2100. The 76% allowance rate reflects the ratio of allowed to decided applications (allowed plus abandoned) in the pooled data and describes the past record only. Aggregate figures from a cross-art-unit record are historical summaries and are not predictions about how any individual application will be examined or decided.
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 neural-network / biological-model computing, and machine learning.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 158 decided applications with an interview and 104 without.
Primarily examines neural-network / biological-model computing, and machine learning.
Based on 5 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Van C Mang 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: 303 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.
