// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates data from one art unit across TC 2100. The 90% allowance rate is calculated from 233 decided applications—allowed and abandoned combined—and describes past disposition only. Aggregate figures reflect historical output but are not predictive of outcomes in individual cases. Each application is examined on its own merits under the statutory requirements.

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 Krisna Lim 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: 233 applications.

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.
