// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Bin Xue maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security), covering one art unit. Across hundreds of decided applications, the examiner's allowance rate is 66%. This rate reflects the share of applications that issued or were abandoned, pooled across all art units in the examiner's record. The allowance rate is a historical summary of past dispositions and does not characterize any individual application or predict the outcome of any pending matter.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This examiner's record aggregates decided applications across all assigned art units in TC 2100. The pooled allowance rate (66%) describes past outcomes in aggregate and reflects the examiner's overall history. Pooled figures do not break down by art unit or application type, and they are correlational snapshots of prior work—not predictions of future dispositions on any specific case or a basis for outcome forecasting.

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 →

// BY ART UNIT

The record, art unit by art unit.

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.

Questions about Examiner Bin Xue

    The examiner's allowance rate is 66% across hundreds of decided applications in TC 2100, representing the share of applications that were allowed or abandoned relative to total decided applications.
  • How many art units does this examiner cover?
    Bin Xue's record spans one art unit (Art Unit 2163) within Technology Center 2100.
  • What does the pooled allowance rate mean?
    The pooled figure aggregates all decided applications across the examiner's assigned art units. It is a historical summary and does not predict outcomes on any pending application or indicate how the examiner will handle any individual case.

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Bin Xue 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 July 14, 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: 151 applications.

Rejection rates. Each §-rate is the share of this examiner's applications that drew at least one office-action rejection in which that statutory ground appears; applications with no rejection on record are excluded, and because grounds can co-occur the four do not sum to 100%. The art-unit figure beside each is the unweighted mean of the per-examiner rates across the art unit, published for §101 and §103 only. Beside the overall allowance rate we show a benchmark: for a single-art-unit examiner it is exactly that art unit's average, labeled “art-unit average”; for an examiner spanning several art units it is the “weighted peer average” — the per-art-unit averages, weighted by this examiner's application count in each — labeled distinctly because it is a blended figure, not any single art unit's average. Both are built from the same per-art-unit averages the panels show.

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.
