Examiner Haoshian Shih has allowed 441 of 629 decided applications (70%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Haoshian Shih maintains a public record across 2 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 629 decided applications, the examiner issued an allowance rate of 70%. This rate spans 441 allowed applications and 188 abandoned applications. The examiner's allowance rate across individual art units ranges from 63% to 90%, reflecting variation in outcomes between the two units. The record covers 675 total applications, including those still pending.
This profile aggregates the examiner's record across multiple art units within TC 2100. Pooled figures describe historical dispositions and do not predict the outcome of any specific application. The allowance rate is computed from decided cases only—allowed and abandoned—and excludes pending applications. A range across art units indicates that allowance rates vary by unit; the overall figure is a weighted aggregate, not a uniform standard applied to every 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. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Haoshian Shih 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: 675 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.
