Examiner Christopher E Lee has allowed 96 of 137 decided applications (70%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Christopher E Lee has a public record of 137 disposed applications across Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security), spanning 3 art units. Of those disposed applications, 96 were allowed and 41 were abandoned, for an overall allowance rate of 70%. This pooled figure represents the examiner's aggregate record across the three art units in which he works. The allowance rate reflects the proportion of decided cases (allowed plus abandoned) and does not include pending applications.
A pooled record aggregates statistics across multiple art units into a single profile. The overall allowance rate of 70% describes the examiner's past performance across all three art units combined and is historical data only. Pooled figures do not separate performance by individual art unit, and they are not predictions of outcomes on any specific application. To understand variation across individual art units, refer to the per-art-unit breakdown if available.
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 error detection, correction, and monitoring, and error-correcting coding/decoding.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 21 decided applications with an interview and 54 without.
Primarily examines computer-aided design (CAD).
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Christopher E Lee 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: 137 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.
