Examiner Edward Zee has allowed 12 of 20 decided applications (60%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Edward Zee maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 20 disposed applications in art unit 2135, Zee allowed 12 and 8 were abandoned, for an allowance rate of 60% over the decided count. The examiner works within a single art unit. This pooled record reflects outcomes on applications that have received final disposition; it does not include pending filings and is not a prediction of outcomes on any specific application.
A pooled record aggregates data across all art units where an examiner works. The allowance rate shown here—60% over 20 decided applications—describes the examiner's past outcomes in the aggregate. Because pooled figures combine different art units and subject areas, the overall rate does not predict the outcome of any individual application. For detail by specific art unit, refer to the per-art-unit section.
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 input/output (I/O) data transfer, and memory access and allocation.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Edward Zee 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: 20 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.
