What the data says.

Jinhee J Lee maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 94 disposed applications spanning 2 art units, the examiner allowed 60 applications and abandoned 34, for an allowance rate of 64% over the decided count. This figure reflects outcomes in applications that reached final disposition. The record aggregates activity across art units 2174 and 2175. The allowance rate describes the historical record of decided applications and is not predictive of any specific application's outcome.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates an examiner's decisions across multiple art units into a single profile. The allowance rate (64%) and application counts reflect combined activity in all assigned art units and describe past dispositions only. This aggregate view does not predict the outcome of any particular application, nor does it account for differences in subject matter, prosecution strategy, or applicant characteristics across individual cases or art units.

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 Jinhee J Lee 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: 94 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.
