// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Examiner Byungkwon Han maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). His pooled record spans one art unit and comprises 39 total applications, of which 2 have been disposed. Of those 2 decided applications, 0 were allowed and 2 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 0% across the disposed count. This record reflects outcomes on a limited number of final decisions and does not constitute a prediction for any specific application.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates all applications across the examiner's assigned art units within TC 2100. The allowance rate is calculated from decided applications only—those allowed or abandoned—and excludes pending cases. Aggregate historical rates describe past outcomes and are correlational data; they are not predictions of outcomes in any individual case and do not account for variation in application characteristics, amendments, or claim scope across different matters.

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

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Byungkwon Han 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: 39 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.
