Kenny S Lin has a public record of 114 disposed applications across 2 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of those decided applications, 67 were allowed and 47 were abandoned, for an overall allowance rate of 59%. This figure represents the examiner's pooled record—the aggregate of work across both art units—and reflects outcomes on applications that have reached final disposition. The record does not include pending applications.
This pooled record aggregates Kenny S Lin's work across multiple art units within TC 2100. The 59% allowance rate describes the historical share of decided applications that were allowed, calculated from all disposed cases. Aggregate figures describe the past record and are not predictions about the outcome of any individual application. Individual art-unit records may vary from the pooled figure.

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Kenny S Lin 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: 114 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.
