Examiner Harold J Kim has allowed 77 of 96 decided applications (80%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Harold J Kim has a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spanning 2 art units. Of 96 disposed applications, 77 were allowed, yielding an 80% allowance rate. The allowance rate ranges from 63% to 93% across these art units. This pooled figure represents the aggregate outcome of decided applications and does not indicate the rate for any single art unit or any pending application.
This pooled record aggregates data across multiple art units within TC 2100. The 80% allowance rate is computed from all decided applications across those units combined. Aggregate figures describe past dispositions and are not predictions about any specific application or art unit. Individual art-unit records may differ materially from the pool; those details appear in a separate 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.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Harold J 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. Figures are rounded for display. Pooled sample: 96 applications.
