Examiner Kim Lynn Dam has allowed 21 of 44 decided applications (48%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
Kim Lynn Dam holds a public record of 44 disposed applications in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Of those decided applications, 21 were allowed and 23 were abandoned, yielding an allowance rate of 48%. The examiner's work spans a single art unit. This pooled record reflects outcomes across all applications decided during the period covered by the public record and does not constitute a prediction for any specific application.
This record aggregates all decided applications across the examiner's art units. The 48% allowance rate is a summary of past outcomes on 44 disposed cases and describes the historical record only. Pooled figures combine outcomes from different art units and do not predict the result in any individual case. Each application is examined on its own merits based on the relevant law and facts.
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 →
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.
Based on 44 applications — too small a sample to characterize the rejection mix reliably; shown for completeness.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Kim Lynn Dam 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: 44 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.
