// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record combines outcomes across multiple art units into a single aggregate allowance rate. This figure describes what occurred over a past set of decided applications and does not function as a prediction for any individual pending matter. The breadth—here, two art units—reflects the examiner's assignment across different subject areas within TC 2100. Aggregate statistics describe the record, not the prospects of a specific case.

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 Gabriel L Chu 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: 863 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.
