// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Jung-Mu T Chuang maintains a 53% allowance rate across hundreds of decided applications in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). This rate reflects the share of applications that issued as allowed versus abandoned across the examiner's pooled record. The examiner's public record spans a single art unit within TC 2100. The 53% allowance rate is a historical aggregate and describes past dispositions on decided applications—those with final allowance or abandonment—and does not describe pending matters.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates the examiner's dispositions across all assigned art units and presents an overall allowance rate. Aggregate figures describe historical outcomes on decided applications and are not predictions about any specific application's outcome. Different art units within TC 2100 may have varying application types, rejection patterns, and applicant responses. A pooled rate is a backward-looking snapshot of past record.

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 →

// BY ART UNIT

The record, art unit by art unit.

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 & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Jung-Mu T Chuang 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 July 14, 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: 356 applications.

Rejection rates. Each §-rate is the share of this examiner's applications that drew at least one office-action rejection in which that statutory ground appears; applications with no rejection on record are excluded, and because grounds can co-occur the four do not sum to 100%. The art-unit figure beside each is the unweighted mean of the per-examiner rates across the art unit, published for §101 and §103 only. Beside the overall allowance rate we show a benchmark: for a single-art-unit examiner it is exactly that art unit's average, labeled “art-unit average”; for an examiner spanning several art units it is the “weighted peer average” — the per-art-unit averages, weighted by this examiner's application count in each — labeled distinctly because it is a blended figure, not any single art unit's average. Both are built from the same per-art-unit averages the panels show.

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.
