What the data says.

Kaitlyn Renee Lau maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 45 total applications, 7 have been disposed (decided).

The allowance rate is a summary of past dispositions and does not indicate the outcome of any pending or future application.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates data from one art unit. The allowance rate—57% across 7 decided applications—reflects historical dispositions in TC 2100 and is not a prediction for any specific case. Pooled figures smooth variation across art units but do not forecast results on individual applications. They serve as a statistical snapshot of past activity, not a guide to future prosecution.

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 Kaitlyn Renee Lau 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: 45 applications.

Lynch LLP is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Examiner statistics are derived from publicly available USPTO data.

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.
