What the data says.

Examiner Justin King's public record spans Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security) across one art unit. Over 56 disposed applications, King issued 45 allowances and 11 abandonments, yielding an allowance rate of 80%. This figure represents the percentage of decided applications in the examiner's pooled record. The record aggregates examination activity across the art unit(s) listed and reflects outcomes on applications that reached final disposition. Allowance rates describe past decisions and are not predictive of outcomes on any individual application.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled examiner record combines data across multiple art units into a single aggregate profile. The allowance rate reflects the share of decided applications that were allowed, excluding pending cases. Because this record spans multiple art units, the aggregate figures describe the examiner's overall history and do not necessarily apply uniformly to any specific art unit or application. Pooled rates are historical summaries, not predictions about future examination outcomes.

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 King 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: 56 applications.
