Across 377 disposed applications, the allowance rate is 87%, calculated from 328 allowed applications and 49 abandoned applications. The record covers a total of 403 applications filed.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record combines statistics from multiple art units into a single aggregate. This examiner's 87% allowance rate describes outcomes already decided across both art units in TC 2100, based on 377 disposed applications. Pooled figures characterize past record only and are not predictive of outcomes in any individual application. Art-unit-level detail, where available separately, may show variation within the aggregate.

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 & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Edmund H Kwong 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.

Figures are rounded for display. Pooled sample: 403 applications.

Lynch LLP is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Examiner statistics are derived from publicly available USPTO data.

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.
