// READING THIS EXAMINER

What the data says.

Examiner Kimberly Lovel Wilson has a public record spanning 2 art units in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 649 disposed applications, the examiner allowed 446, for an overall allowance rate of 69%. The allowance rate ranges from 59% to 98% across these art units, reflecting variation in the examiner's record by subject area within TC 2100. This pooled figure aggregates outcomes across different technical areas and represents historical disposition data, not a forecast for any particular application.

// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

A pooled record combines results from multiple art units into a single aggregate allowance rate. This figure describes past decisions across different technical domains and is historical in nature. The range shows how the examiner's allowance rate varies by art unit. Pooled statistics reflect the examiner's overall pattern but do not predict outcomes in any specific case, and variation across art units means individual applications may fall outside the aggregate figure.

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

METHODOLOGY & DISCLOSURES

Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner Kimberly Lovel Wilson 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: 669 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.
