Examiner Hubert G Cheung has allowed 260 of 413 decided applications (63%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Hubert G Cheung holds a public record of 451 total applications across 6 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of 413 disposed applications, 260 were allowed, yielding an allowance rate of 63%. The examiner's allowance rates across individual art units range from 50% to 100%, reflecting variation in outcomes by art unit. This pooled figure represents the examiner's aggregate record and does not predict outcomes in any specific application.
This pooled record aggregates the examiner's outcomes across multiple art units in TC 2100. The 63% allowance rate describes past decisions on 413 disposed applications and reflects the examiner's overall record to date. Pooled figures do not isolate performance by subject matter or art unit, nor do they constitute predictions about future applications. The range across art units shows variability that the detailed art-unit breakdown addresses separately.
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 Hubert G Cheung 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: 451 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.
