Examiner Hsing Chun Lin has allowed 67 of 112 decided applications (60%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Hsing Chun Lin maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 153 total applications, 112 have been disposed of (decided). Of those 112 decided applications, 67 were allowed and 45 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 60%. The examiner's record spans a single art unit, meaning this pooled figure reflects work within one art-unit assignment. This record represents past dispositions and does not constitute a prediction for any pending or future application.
A pooled record aggregates an examiner's work across all assigned art units into a single profile. The figures here—the allowance rate and application counts—describe historical outcomes and serve as a factual baseline for understanding the examiner's past practice. Such aggregated statistics correlate past decisions but do not forecast the outcome of any specific application. Art-unit assignments, applicant arguments, claim scope, and examiner reasoning on individual cases remain separate from these overall figures.
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.
Primarily examines program control and execution.

A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 79 decided applications with an interview and 33 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Hsing Chun Lin 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: 153 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.
