Examiner Elias Young Kim has allowed 71 of 90 decided applications (79%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Elias Young Kim maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 117 total applications, 90 applications have been disposed of (decided). Of those 90 disposed applications, 71 were allowed and 19 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 79% over the decided count. The examiner's record spans a single art unit, Art Unit 2135. This pooled figure describes the examiner's historical record and does not constitute a prediction for any specific pending application.
This pooled record aggregates all dispositions across the examiner's art units in TC 2100. The 79% allowance rate is calculated from decided applications only (allowed plus abandoned), excluding any pending filings. Pooled figures describe past outcomes and represent a snapshot of the examiner's historical record. They are correlational data and are not predictive of any individual application's outcome. Art-unit-level detail may vary and is presented separately.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Elias Young 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.
