Examiner Christopher B Shin has allowed 1,104 of 1,199 decided applications (92%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Christopher B Shin maintains a public record across 2 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 1,227 total applications, 1,104 were allowed and 95 were abandoned, resulting in 1,199 disposed applications. The allowance rate stands at 92% of decided applications. The allowance rate ranges from 89% to 93% across his art units, reflecting variation in the composition and disposition patterns within the pooled record.
This pooled record aggregates data from multiple art units. The overall allowance rate and application counts describe the examiner's past record across all assigned work and do not constitute a prediction about any specific application. Art units may differ in subject matter, filing volumes, and applicant populations. The range across art units illustrates this heterogeneity; an aggregate figure masks those differences and is useful only as a historical summary.
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.
Primarily examines interconnection and data transfer between memory, I/O, and processing units, and program control and execution.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 179 decided applications with an interview and 866 without.
Primarily examines data-processing methods for specific functions, and processing data by its order or content.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Christopher B Shin 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: 1,227 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.
