This pooled figure aggregates outcomes across multiple art units and reflects decided applications only, excluding pending cases.
A pooled record combines results across all art units where an examiner has a substantial presence. The aggregate allowance rate describes historical outcomes across those units combined and is not a prediction of any specific application's fate. Individual art units may show different rates; the range provided reflects this variation. Pooled statistics are most useful as a general reference to past patterns.
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. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Charlie Sun 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: 750 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.
