What the data says.

Jung W Kim's public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) spans one art unit. Across 93 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 60 and abandoned 33, for an allowance rate of 65%. This rate reflects the proportion of decided cases in the examiner's pooled record. The 65% allowance rate is calculated from applications that received final action—either allowance or abandonment—and does not include pending applications. This aggregate figure represents the examiner's historical record across the covered art unit.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record aggregates data across all art units assigned to an examiner. The figures presented—allowance rate, application counts, and art-unit breadth—describe past decisions and are not predictions about any individual application. Pooled rates mask variation across different art units and technology areas. This aggregate record shows what occurred historically but does not indicate how any specific application will be examined or decided.

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 Jung W Kim 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: 93 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.
