Examiner Christian Chace has allowed 130 of 160 decided applications (81%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Christian Chace holds a public record of 160 disposed applications across 5 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of these decided applications, 130 were allowed and 30 abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 81%. The examiner's allowance rates vary across the art units served, ranging from 76% to 92%. This pooled figure aggregates work across distinct subject areas and does not reflect performance on any single application or art unit.
A pooled record aggregates an examiner's work across multiple art units, each with potentially different allowance rates. The overall allowance rate—here 81% across 160 decided applications—describes historical disposition and is not a forecast for any particular case. The range (76% to 92%) illustrates variation among the art units represented. Pooled statistics are correlational snapshots of past work and carry no predictive weight for future applications.
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 →
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.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Christian Chace 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: 160 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.
