Examiner William Wai Kwan has allowed 23 of 58 decided applications (40%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
William Wai Kwan maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 58 disposed applications, 23 were allowed and 35 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 40%. This rate is computed from all decided cases in the single art unit comprising his portfolio. The record reflects outcomes on completed applications only; pending matters are excluded from this calculation.
This pooled record aggregates dispositions across one art unit and presents the examiner's historical allowance rate as a factual summary. The 40% figure describes past outcomes on decided applications and is not a prediction of any specific application's result. Pooled statistics reflect general patterns across diverse applications and do not forecast individual case dispositions.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner William Wai Kwan 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: 58 applications.
