Examiner Christy Y Kim has allowed 50 of 144 decided applications (35%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Christy Y Kim maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning two art units. Across 144 disposed applications, the allowance rate is 35%, with 50 applications allowed and 94 abandoned. This allowance rate reflects the proportion of decided cases and does not represent a share of all filings or pending work. The pooled figure aggregates the examiner's work across both art units and describes historical disposition patterns only.
This pooled record combines data from two art units within TC 2100. Aggregate allowance rates describe past dispositions across that combination and are not predictions about outcomes in any specific case. The 35% figure is historical; individual applications may resolve differently based on claim scope, prior art, and prosecution conduct. Pooled statistics show what occurred, not what will occur in 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.
Primarily examines information retrieval and database structures.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 63 decided applications with an interview and 68 without.
Primarily examines information retrieval and database structures.
Based on 13 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Christy Y Kim 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: 144 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.
