Examiner Benjamin C Wu has allowed 559 of 627 decided applications (89%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Benjamin C Wu maintains a public record across 2 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of 627 disposed applications, 559 were allowed, yielding an 89% allowance rate. Allowance rates across the art units range from 87% to 89%. The record reflects decisions on applications in these art units over the period examined; these figures describe the past record and are not predictions for any individual application.
This profile aggregates Wu's record across multiple art units in TC 2100.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Benjamin C Wu 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: 676 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.
