// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Examiner Zarni Maung maintains a public record spanning 2 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 117 disposed applications, 102 were allowed and 15 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 87%. This rate reflects the proportion of decided applications that issued, excluding any pending matters. The record aggregates activity across both art units and represents historical disposition data without indication of outcomes on specific future applications.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record combines statistics from multiple art units into a single aggregate figure. The allowance rate shown here—87% over 117 decided applications—describes past dispositions across both units together and does not separate performance by individual art unit. Aggregate historical rates describe what occurred in closed applications; they are not predictions of any specific application's outcome. Individual art-unit records are published separately.

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 →

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Zarni Maung 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: 117 applications.

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.
