Examiner Hyun Nam has allowed 911 of 1,042 decided applications (87%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Examiner Hyun Nam maintains a public record across 2 art units within Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of 1,042 disposed applications, 911 were allowed, yielding an overall allowance rate of 87%. The allowance rate ranges from 82% to 94% across these art units. This pooled figure aggregates the examiner's work in both art units and reflects historical outcomes on applications that have been decided; it is not predictive of any specific pending application.
A pooled record combines statistics from multiple art units into a single aggregate profile. The overall allowance rate (87% here) describes past outcomes across all art units combined and reflects only applications already decided. Pooled figures do not predict the outcome of any individual application, nor do they isolate performance in any particular art unit—that detail appears separately. The range (82% to 94%) shows variation among individual units but does not indicate which unit handled any specific case.
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 interconnection and data transfer between memory, I/O, and processing units.

A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 76 decided applications with an interview and 513 without.
Primarily examines program control and execution.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Hyun Nam 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: 1,066 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.
