// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates data across all art units under an examiner's purview. The allowance rate reported here is a historical aggregate and describes past outcomes on decided applications only. It is not a prediction of outcome for any specific pending application. Individual art units may show different rates. Aggregate figures provide context on the examiner's overall record but do not account for variation in case complexity, claim scope, prior art, or applicant arguments on any particular matter.

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 Jensen Hu 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: 598 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.
