What the data says.

Examiner Katriel Y Chiu maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 42 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 21 and abandoned 21, for an allowance rate of 50%. This record spans a single art unit (2152). The allowance rate is calculated from decided applications only and does not reflect pending filings. These figures represent the examiner's pooled historical record and are descriptive of applications already closed.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates an examiner's decisions across all assigned art units into a single allowance-rate figure. The 50% rate describes past outcomes on 42 decided applications. Aggregate statistics describe what has occurred, not what will occur on any future application. Individual art units may have different rates. Pooled data masks variation and is most useful as a general reference point for the examiner's overall practice.

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

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 Katriel Y Chiu 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: 42 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.

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.
