What the data says.

Harrison Chan Young Kim maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 48 total applications, 8 have been disposed of (decided). Of those 8 decided applications, 4 were allowed and 4 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 50%. This rate reflects outcomes on the subset of applications that have reached final decision; pending applications are excluded from the calculation. The examiner's record spans a single art unit within TC 2100.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates data across all art units in which the examiner works. The allowance rate of 50% describes the historical share of decided applications that were allowed, computed from 8 disposed cases. These figures characterize the past record only and are not predictions about any specific application's outcome. Aggregate statistics across art units do not forecast results in any individual case or art unit.

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 Harrison Chan 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. Figures are rounded for display. Pooled sample: 48 applications.

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.
