// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates data across all art units assigned to the examiner. The allowance rate of 81% describes the examiner's historical proportion of allowed to decided applications and is calculated from the disposed application count, not the total filing count. Pooled figures describe the examiner's overall past record and are not predictive of outcomes in any individual application. For art-unit-specific data, consult the separate per-unit sections.

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 Kuang Fu Chen 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: 329 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.
