Examiner Angela M Lie has allowed 152 of 207 decided applications (73%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Angela M Lie holds a public record of 207 disposed applications across 2 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of those 207 decided applications, 152 were allowed and 55 were abandoned, for an overall allowance rate of 73%. This rate reflects the examiner's pooled history across both assigned art units and does not constitute a prediction for any specific pending application.
This record aggregates the examiner's activity across multiple art units within TC 2100. Aggregate allowance rates describe past decisions and do not predict outcomes in individual cases. The pooled figure represents a statistical summary of closed applications and reflects historical disposition patterns, not deterministic guidance for any given filing.
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.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 19 decided applications with an interview and 185 without.
Primarily examines information retrieval and database structures.
Based on 3 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Angela M Lie 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: 207 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.
