// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates all disposed applications across the examiner's art units in TC 2100. The allowance rate of 68% reflects the proportion of decided cases that resulted in allowance over the examiner's public history. Pooled figures describe past performance and are correlational data only—they are not predictions of outcome for any individual application, which may present distinct claim scope, prior art, or procedural posture.

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 Brian Chew 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: 134 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.
