// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This profile aggregates the examiner's complete record across all assigned art units within TC 2100. The allowance rate of 38% is calculated from disposed applications only—pending cases are excluded. Because this is a pooled figure across one art unit, it represents the examiner's historical outcome distribution and provides context for understanding past decisions. Pooled rates describe what has occurred, not what will occur in any future examination.

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 Justin Che-Chun Tong 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.

Figures are rounded for display. Pooled sample: 55 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.
