Examiner Hui-Wen Lin has allowed 76 of 115 decided applications (66%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Hui-Wen Lin maintains a public record across 2 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Over 115 decided applications, the examiner's allowance rate is 66%. Across the art units represented in this record, allowance rates range from 64% to 72%. The examiner has allowed 76 applications and seen 39 abandoned. This pooled figure reflects performance across multiple art units and does not represent any single art unit or predict outcomes in individual cases.
This record aggregates Examiner Lin's work across multiple art units in TC 2100. Pooled allowance rates describe historical disposition and are computed from decided applications only—pending cases are excluded. The range across art units reflects variation in examiner output by classification area. Aggregate statistics describe the past record and are not predictions of how any future or pending application will be examined.
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, and software engineering.
Allowance rate for applications with an examiner interview versus without one.
A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 66 decided applications with an interview and 24 without.
Primarily examines program control and execution.
Based on 25 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Hui-Wen 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: 115 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.
